Rejected for Guideline 2.5.2 - Performance - Software Requirements

Hi everyone, I’d appreciate guidance on a 2.5.2 rejection.

My app was rejected with this message:

“During review, the app installed or launched executable code. Specifically, the app allows users to install apps created by other users.”

What my app actually does:

  • Users create/share tool templates (not binaries/plugins).
  • A template contains only:

form configuration (text fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, sliders, etc.)

  • At runtime, placeholders like #TextField are replaced with user input, then the final prompt is sent to a server for AI response.

*The iOS app does not download/install/execute native code, scripts, frameworks, or dynamic modules on-device.

I suspect review interpreted the word “install” in my UI as real app/code installation anyone knows what can i do to fix this problem.

thank you,
