So my app update just got redjected with "Your app uses the HealthKit APIs but does not clearly identify the HealthKit functionality in your app’s UI, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines."

But according to Apple's HIG for HealthKit we are not supposed to mention “HealthKit” in the UI, nor use any of the HealthKit icons. Does anyone know what the reviewer is looking for? Any examples of fitness apps using HealthKit and how they identify that fact in the app's UI?

I've had a number of app updates get approved with HealthKit already and this was never an issue. What I have is a UiAlertView asking users if they want to connect with the Health App that appears once when the user goes to the screen that collects fitness data.

Appologizes for crossposting this to the HealtKit forum but I'm kind of at a loss here. I'm at a point of just dropping the HealtKit support because I don't think it's worth this random redjection hassle.

Thanks!

You can refer to Apple's Health app -- just don't call it HealthKit because users won't know what the heck you're talking about. I'd say it was important for the user to know that your app can access and/or provide data for the Health app via HealthKit.

Thanks for the reply. This is what I have already: http://imgur.com/P9Lt7yX

A pop-up that refers to the Health App, so not sure what else they want.
