Hello,


We contacted Apple Developer Support due to an automatic message we receive when trying to publish a new version of our app



Dear Developer,
We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app. Please correct the following issues, then upload again. 
ITMS-90338: Non-public API usage - The app references non-public selectors in Idealys: applicationWillTerminate,
 ddSetLogLevel:, localTarget, newSocketQueueForConnectionFromAddress:onSocket:, setOrientation:animated:,
 socket:didConnectToHost:port:, socket:didReadPartialDataOfLength:tag:, socket:didReceiveTrust:completionHandler:,
 socket:didWritePartialDataOfLength:tag:, socket:shouldTimeoutReadWithTag:elapsed:bytesDone:, 
socket:shouldTimeoutWriteWithTag:elapsed:bytesDone:, socketDidCloseReadStream:, socketDidSecure:,
 terminateWithSuccess, webSocket:didReceiveMessage:, webSocketDidOpen:

 If method names in your source code match the private Apple APIs listed above,
 altering your method names will help prevent this app from being flagged in future submissions.
 In addition, note that one or more of the above APIs may be located in a static library that was included with your app.
 If so, they must be removed. For further information, visit the Technical Support Information at http://developer.apple.com/support/technical/ 

Best regards,

The App Store Team


The problem is we do not understand what the issue is even when reading your automatic message.


How can we debug this ?

How can we identify the source of the problem ?

Do you have any idea of what the problem is ?


What we tried :

  1. We tried to re-publish the application we currently have on your store (production) with different build number => App rejected with the same automatic message ;
  2. We tried to disable one by one every cordova plugin (see the list below) => App rejected with the same automatic message ;
  3. We tried to look for every reference listed in the automatic message using XCode and grep => We found none of those ;
  4. We tried to upgrade cordova-ios => App rejected with the same automatic message ;


XCode version : 11.0

MacOS version : 10.14.6

Cordova-ios version : 4.5.5

Ionic version : 1


Best regards,

The issue has been resolved on the app validation backend. Please try resubmitting. Sorry for the trouble.

Same. Thought I was going crazy. One build worked yesterday and then with minimal changes it just stopped working. Tried so many things in the past 24hours ish. Glad to see I am not completely insane.

Unity version 2019.4. Xcode 13.4. Also switched over to cloud build on Unity in hopes that would fix it but it did not.

Seems like the validation tool was fixed on the Apple side. We were able to submit a build containing Unity. Can anybody also confirm?

We are facing similar issue.. The app we are trying to upload is a sample camera app from Apple only. AVMulticamPIP sample. In the refusal email even though it says non-public API usage, no API names are mentioned for which it is refusing.

This is the email we got

Same here, nothing was changed from previous builds. Looks like an Apple bug.

Last time we received something similar to this it was on Apple's end and we just needed to wait it out for a day. Is anyone else hitting a similar problem right now?

We only made some small style updates so we're having a hard time thinking that it is something in our build!

I am getting similar errors:

ITMS-90338: Non-public API usage - The app references non-public selectors in MedTextiOS: checkFocusGroupTreeForEnvironment:, commissioningComplete:, connectionTypesMask, pairDevice:address:port:discriminator:setupPINCode:error:, setConnectionTypesMask:, setListenPort:, sharedController, sleep:, test:, toggle:.

In addition, note that one or more of the above APIs may be located in a static library that was included with your app. If so, they must be removed.

Minor change in our code, successful submission 10 days ago, and now this. Very frustrated with such an approach from Apple.
