Hi Apple Dev Community,

My app binary recently got rejected in the app review. The reason for this being "my app includes HealthKit but never uses it".

However, confusing is HealthKit either doesn't exist or is toggleed "off" for my app IDs, Xcode project and info.plist. Please take a look at below:

App IDs: https://ibb.co/fCHhkG0

Xcode: https://ibb.co/bN8Qjw6
info.plist: https://ibb.co/f2jRgTr

As you can see, HealthKit is turned off for both App IDs and my Xcode project, while there is no entry for it in my info.plist...

Apparenly, according to my app review correspondant, my info.plist "contains definitions for NSHealthShareUsageDescription and NSHealthUpdateUsageDescription values". I find this weird as my info.plist contains no such definitions.

Does anybody know where exactly these values are stored and how to remove them?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! 🙂

You named an app 'launchimage' - how does that even work?

Moving on...I suspect you uploaded a different binary/archive and not the one you wanted.

If you're sure you made no such mistake, did you appeal yet, expressing your confusion to app review?

Did you ever enable HK for that app? Any app you're working on?

How many targets in that project?

Luv the images, but the one for info.plist looks to be a year old...do you have something current?

I believe the plist entry is entitled "Privacy - Health Share Usage Description" and "Privacy - Health Update Usage Description".

If you don't have that, then appeal stating "I don't have such entries in the plist - please check again." But check closely to be sure you didn't accidently include them in the plist.

Thanks for the tip.
I double checked for bothPrivacy - Health Share Usage Description" and "Privacy - Health Update Usage Description", but was able to find neither.
Looks likes I will have to appeal.
