Hi, I developed an app and submitted it to the App Store, but it was rejected for the following reason:
Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage
Issue Description:
The app requires users to register or log in to access features that are not account-based.
Specifically, the app requires users to sign up before accessing the app. Apps may not require users to enter personal information to function, except when directly relevant to the core functionality of the app or required by law.
Next Steps:
Revise the app to allow users to freely access features that are not account-based. The app may still require registration for features that are account-based.
Resources:
You can learn more about the requirements for apps with account-based content and features in guideline 5.1.1(v) - Account Sign-In.
After receiving this, I updated my app and added a "Continue as Guest" button on the login screen. With this button, users can navigate the app without signing up.
Only commenting, updating the profile, and adding to favorites are disabled when using the app as a guest.
However, I'm still receiving the same rejection for the same reason.
What should I do at this point? Can anyone help?
