Urgent: Help Needed with App Store Submission Issue

Hello,

We recently encountered an issue with our app's submission to the App Store regarding missing permissions. Specifically, our app requires access to two categories called: NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryFileTimestamp and NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults for proper functionality.

Although we've managed to resolve the immediate concern, it's important that we address this as soon as possible (to avoid any further complications with future app submissions).

As I'm not entirely familiar with app development/coding, I'm reaching out to seek help with this.

We also want to know if the issue we're experiencing is related to using pre-release software or our code? Any insights or help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

When you post a question, please provide detailed information if you want to get help.

No, your issue is not related to using pre-release software. The issue is related to changes in policy.
