Hi,

I submitted a build to AppStore and I received this comment: What features or functionality in the app require Background Location to be enabled?

I reviewed app code and I removed all code related to Background Location because it's not used by the app and created a new build and submitted to review but I received again the same message, I sent a response using Resolution Center explaining that currently I'm not using this kind of features in the app, but I didn't receive any response and the app is rejected yet

Anyboyd know how to proceed in this case?

Do you use a field in the info.plist to request permission to use Background Location? Do you ask to use Background Modes under "Capabilities" for any target?

Under "Capabilities" I don't have Location enable, I only have Remote notifications enabled. And my project is in react native, I reviewed and by default react native add this key in info.plist "NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription" I'm not sure if this is the cause

Hi @Shaka08, I'm having the same problem. How did you get around this? Did Apple simply accept your explanation that you're not using this API at all? I've seen a lot of people asking this very question or something similar in this forum, but then everybody seems to get past it somehow and then they neglect to go back and answer their own question for the good of the community.
