    iOS App Rejected

    Hello,

    My vbulletin mobile app rejected becqause of below reason.
    is there anyone to face this problem? Any advise ?

    Reasons for Rejection:

    • 2.5: Apps that use non-public APIs will be rejected

    We found that your app uses one or more non-public APIs, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. The use of non-public APIs is not permissible because it can lead to a poor user experience should these APIs change.

    We found the following non-public API/s in your app:

    cleanUp
    playMovie


    If you have defined methods in your source code with the same names as the above-mentioned APIs, we suggest altering your method names so that they no longer collide with Apple's private APIs to avoid your application being flagged in future submissions.

    Additionally, one or more of the above-mentioned APIs may reside in a static library included with your application. If you do not have access to the library's source, you may be able to search the compiled binary using "strings" or "otool" command line tools. The "strings" tool can output a list of the methods that the library calls and "otool -ov" will output the Objective-C class structures and their defined methods. These techniques can help you narrow down where the problematic code resides.

    We appreciate that you may have made the precautions in your code for using non-public APIs, however, there is no way to fully accommodate the unknown. It is for this reason, that we do not permit the use of non-public APIs in App Store apps.

    I wouldn't attempt any submissions until vB has a development team in place.

          I think yes; mind you, I'm not the developer.

          I think the app is using some function calls which are non-public and that is why Apple has rejected this...

              Agreed, and thats why I thought I should ask about this. The app hasn't been changed since it went live, I follow news from Apple close and don't recall any emails about some sort of change like this.

              I think this is on the user end of this, not the app store.

                  I got this response from them :
                  On occasion, there may be apps on the App Store that don't appear to be in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. We work hard to ensure that the apps on the App Store are in compliance and we try to identify any apps currently on the App Store that may not be. It takes time to identify these occurrences but another app being out of compliance is not a reason for your app to be.

                    This issue has just been resolved; please rebuild your app via mobile publisher and re-submit to Apple store for review. Thank you very much, we apologize for the inconvenience.
