Hi,
We have been trying to get our app, Intersect, accepted on the App Store for a few weeks, and we keep getting rejected because of 17.2 - Apps that require users to share personal information, such as email address and date of birth, in order to function will be rejected.
It says that “In order to use Facebook for authentication, your app must include significant account-specific functionality from Facbook.”
We do have several account-specific functionalities from Facebook like mutual friends, profile picture (it’s very important for us to have the user’s real identity), gender and age (also need to be real), etc so Facebook is crucial for us. Besides, Tinder and other apps (Happn, Highlight, Hinge, etc) use it in a similar way.
We want to make sure our app is ready for launch in at most 1 week and don't want any more delays.
My question for you is what would we need to do to get rid of this issue with facebook login?
Would allowing the user to see the feed but not be able to use the “add friend” feature before completing their profile (through Facebook) comply with App Store Guidelines and be enough to get the app accepted?
I’d very much appreciate your reply.
Thanks,
Laurence
