Hi,
I hope this is the right place to post.
My app got rejected because the reviewer claims that I am using "selector mangling".
I have no idea what this is.
Is there a compiler flag causing this?
My code does use a bit of C++ classes which I researched and found out that they can cause function names to be mangled but not "selectors" as the reviewer is complaining about.
Does anybody know what Apple means by "selector mangling".
thank you
I recieved this too, and my app is mostly Swift...but not sure what the pods I have are using. Unfortunately, I also have no idea what it means. I sent a reply to the app reviewer and have no answer so far.
You will need to remove the space in the url below for it work ...
Here is an explanation on stackoverflow https : // stackoverflow . com/questions/14674163/strange-selector-mangling-in-objective-c-method-with-boolean-arguments
It appears that my issue has to do with a pod I introduced to get some 3rd party hardware integration. This is going to ****.
Hello guys,
I have similar rejection as the above, and I can't figure out what to do. I got this rejection:
Guideline 2.3.1 - Performance
"We discovered that your app contains hidden features.
Specifically, it would be appropriate to remove all code obfuscation and selector mangling or to explain in detail the purpose of its inclusion before resubmitting for review.
The next submission of this app may require a longer review time, and this app will not be eligible for an expedited review until this issue is resolved.
Next Steps
- Review the Performance section of the App Store Review Guidelines.
- Ensure your app is compliant with all sections of the App Store Review Guidelines and the Terms & Conditions of the Apple Developer Program.
- Once your app is fully compliant, resubmit your app for review. (...)"
When I asked for more details I got this one:
"Thank you for your response.
It would be appropriate to remove the previously noted obfuscated methods in the app, such as initWithOperation:settings:key:X__PPIOS_DOUBLE_OBFUSCATION_GUARD__:error: and X__PPIOS_DOUBLE_OBFUSCATION_GUARD__, + x0bSVYpI:w9E5xCtb:x1LCw4Io:X__PPIOS_DOUBLE_OBFUSCATION_GUARD__:error:, or explain in detail their use and how they are implemented in the app."
I can't figure out why there is (PPIOS) because from what I know, this is library for symbol obfuscator, and I don't use it. Also i searched hole project for sentence "initWithOperation" and I haven't found anytihng (I've searched in project and pods).
I'm really strugling with that. I would apreciate for any help.
Hi, Have you resolved this issue ? I'm also having the same issue. App got rejected.
I have the same problem. Is there an update on this ?
"We still found that your app contains obfuscated code, selector mangling, or features meant to subvert the App Review process by changing this app's concept after approval to the App Store."
