My company has submitted 2 apps to the iOS store. One is for a "Producer" and the other is for a "Driver".Producers will request a pickup of a commodity. This request is assigned to a Driver and the Driver will follow directions to get to the Producer, pickup the load, and then transport the item to the destination.The Producer App gives the Producer visability of where the Driver is. We also have a web app that allows us to see wheree the Drivers are.The Producer App was approved and is in the App sgtore.The Driver App has been rejected:Guideline 2.5.4 - Performance - Software RequirementsWe noticed that your app declares support for location in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist file but does not have any features that require persistent location. Specifically, your app uses location background mode for the sole purpose of tracking employees, which is not appropriate on the App Store.Next StepsTo resolve this issue, please revise your app to include additional features for your users that require the persistent use of real-time location updates while the app is in the background.The app DOES have other features: Drivers can submitt invoices direcectly from the app, and can then get paid sooner. The Drivers are not our employees, they work for themselves. They don't have to use the app. We do ask for permissions. We have appealed and added information concerning the other features of the app, but we are rejected every time. I am kind of at a loss as to what we can do.All of our apps are built in Xamarin, if that is of any help.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Bryan

I am confused about how to add a trusted phone number and trusted device to my company's main Apple Account, the one who is the Account Holder. I understand that we need to: Obtain an iOS device that is associated with a phone line. Create an Apple ID that is controlled by my company. Add the Apple ID to the device. Set up 2 factor authentication. Sign into https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage#!&page=signin with the new ID and select Account Security. Then select to add a new Trusted Number. Enter the phone number assigned to this new device and continue. Now we have a backup account and device that can be used to access the account if the Account Holder or the device associated with the Account Holder is not available. Is this correct? Do we have to have a device that has a phone number? Someone suggested that you could use an iPod Touch as a second device, but you cannot assign a phone number to an iPod Touch, right? I am very very interested in following best practices with regard to this and would appreciate any information or links to information on best practices.

I just got the following from Apple:Dear Developer,We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, Please correct the following issues, then upload again.ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted. Instead, use WKWebView for improved security and reliability. Learn more (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview).Best regards,The App Store TeamI understand that this is deprecated for new apps in 4/2020 and for updated apps in 12/2020. This is NOT a new app.We have got this message many times before. New apps have to have this completed by April 2020, Updated Apps by December 2020.To us this is an updated App. It has been in Test Flight for over a year and we updated date it about every month. We use a different a unique app bundle for promotion to the App Store. I don't know why.The only thing I can see that we did differently was we needed a new provisioning profile. But that shouldn't mean it is a "new" app.What criteria does Apple use to indicate whether an app is "new" or "updated".

I am experiencing a strange, reproducible bug in Test Flight while trying to update an application. We are using release version of iOS 13.3. The device in question (one of the devices anyway is a 3 week old iPhone 11 Pro Plus. I assign user to version x in TF, download app, sign in. App is in foregroundI assign user to version x + 1 in TF, TF shows Update, I upate. Progress wheel spins toward end and stops.I return to the app and can to things normally.App does not update.If I kill the app (and sometimes also kill Test Flight and relaunch), then the update will update. I do not open the app. The app has the normal updating greyed out look, cannot get into the app, all is well.We can reproduce on other devices.Does anyone else have this problem? Can I use Xcode to see what is happening.
