Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Hello,


An app that my team has been working on was denied because of this disclaimer not being on the app description:



"Continued use of GPS running in the background

can dramatically decrease battery life."


I cannot find anywhere in the docs or guidelines that reference this disclaimer.


I search on the internet of the message only shows posts with others that have had the same issue or ITunes apps that have the disclaimer.


The 2.16 reference in here https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/


doesn't mention it either.


Can someone point me to the web page that has this rule and possibly others I do not know about?


Thank You,

Randy

I'm not aware of any Apple documentation on it. It seems to be a tribal knowledge kind of thing. You could file a documentation bug using the Report Bugs link.

See 13.2
