Our App got rejected:

Design - 4.5.2

Your app uses the Apple Music API but does not display or appropriately use standard media controls such as "play", "pause", and "skip."

Next Steps

Please revise your app to implement standard media playback controls for Apple Music content or remove the Apple Music feature in iTunes Connect.

I was searching iTunesConnect and xCode for Apple Music API to disable it because the app doesn't use it but i couldn't find any settings. Does any one know where to find the settings or what to do?

i wrote an email to apple and got the following answer but the links are not very helpful:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Apple Developer Program Support regarding the issue with Apple Music API.

After looking into this I have found a couple of resources that may help you remove the API. I have provided the links below:

Remove the MediaPlayer Framework in the Xcode project. That should do the trick.

If your info.plist has a key for Privacy - Music Usage Description you need to remove it.
