Location-Based Service Functionality Declined – Guidance on Apple Business Manager Requirement

Hi Everyone,

I recently submitted an app to the App Store, which includes a location-based service for tracking employees within a specific radius. However, the submission was declined, and Apple has advised me to proceed with Apple Business Manager instead.

I would like to understand:

Why does Apple require Apple Business Manager for this functionality? Has anyone successfully implemented a similar feature? If so, what steps did you follow?

If your app has been rejected and you need help resolving the issue, consider taking advantage of one of the following support options available from App Review:

  • Reply to the message from App Review in App Store Connect and request clarification.
  • Request a call with an Apple representative to discuss the outcome of the review.
  • Submit an appeal to the App Review Board if you believe your app follows the App Review Guidelines.

Visit the Contact Us page on Apple Developer and select the App Review tile to learn more.
