2. 3 Performance: Accurate Metadata

The review message:


We continue to find that your app contains hidden features or functionality that can change the behavior of the app after review. To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to ensure that all features and functions in the app are visible and fully accessible during review.


It would also be appropriate to remove all third-party payment mechanisms from the app. Alternatively, if you believe this mechanism to be used in a manner that is compliant, please reply to this message in Resolution Center to explain how this feature works.



But I am sure that there are no hidden features in my app, and also no third-party payment library, what can i do to explain?

Recently there have been a number of threads in the forum about this sort of problem. Perhaps App Review is more dilligently searching methods contained in attached libraries and discovering ones they don't like. First the big question - are you using any libraries that may contain methods of which you are unaware? That is, are you certain that "no third-party payment library" exists somewhere in your frameworks and the same with a method that could alter its code?


If so, one approach is to inform App Review that you do not use any third party payment systems and you do not alter any code within the app. Any belief on their part that you do is incorrect.


If, on the other hand, you do use frameworks that could contain such capabilities then perhaps you should contact the provider of those frameworks and ask them what to do.

Did you appeal?


If so, what did you say?


How many times?


How many rejections?


What did each rejection say?


Were you told to make changes to meta data and not re-submit another build?


Were you told to resubmit?

If you confirm that there is no such problem with the App, you can apply for an appeal, which is also the case with one of my apps. After the appeal the day before yesterday, it was successfully approved last night. Good luck!
