Apple App Store Review

2
Hi,   When I want Apple to review my app (to get it in the store) I always receive the same comment.  (Rejected 2. 3 Performance: Accurate Metadata 2. 5 Performance: Software Requirements   ) I'm using the default Native Template and the “Build Native Mobile App” function (version 1.0.90) in the Studio Pro 8.18.4 Where should I look for these hidden features ? → Codepush has already been disabled …   → Review Comment Apple Jun 24, 2021 at 1:15 AM From Apple 2. 3 Performance: Accurate Metadata 2. 5 Performance: Software Requirements   Guideline 2.3.1 - Performance We discovered that your app contains hidden features. Specifically, your app includes Javascript downloading support. The next submission of this app may require a longer review time, and this app will not be eligible for an expedited review until this issue is resolved. Next Steps - Review the Performance section of the App Store Review Guidelines. - Ensure your app is compliant with all sections of the App Store Review Guidelines and the Terms & Conditions of the Apple Developer Program. - Once your app is fully compliant, resubmit your app for review. Submitting apps designed to mislead or harm customers or evade the review process may result in the termination of your Apple Developer Program account. Review the Terms & Conditions of the Apple Developer Program to learn more about our policies regarding termination.   Guideline 2.5.2 - Performance - Software Requirements Your app, extension, or linked framework appears to contain code designed explicitly with the capability to change your app’s behavior or functionality after App Review approval, which is not in compliance with App Store Review Guideline 2.5.2 and section 3.3.2 of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. This code, combined with a remote resource, can facilitate significant changes to your app’s behavior compared to when it was initially reviewed for the App Store. While you may not be using this functionality currently, it has the potential to load private frameworks, private methods, and enable future feature changes. This includes any code which passes arbitrary parameters to dynamic methods such as dlopen(), dlsym(), respondsToSelector:, performSelector:, method_exchangeImplementations(), and running remote scripts in order to change app behavior and/or call SPI, based on the contents of the downloaded script. Even if the remote resource is not intentionally malicious, it could easily be hijacked via a Man In The Middle (MiTM) attack, which can pose a serious security vulnerability to users of your app. The next submission of this app may require a longer review time, and this app will not be eligible for an expedited review until this issue is resolved. Next Steps - Review the Software Requirements section of the App Store Review Guidelines. - Ensure your app is compliant with all sections of the App Store Review Guidelines and the Terms & Conditions of the Apple Developer Program. - Once your app is fully compliant, resubmit your app for review. Submitting apps designed to mislead or harm customers or evade the review process may result in the termination of your Apple Developer Program account.

In this case, I think they’re flagging CodePush. The Mendix native app template may have a few references to CodePush even when it is disabled. It’s worth creating a support ticket for Mendix to review.

Apple seems to be inconsistent around their message with Codepush and similar technologies. Oddly, plenty of apps use CodePush in production without issue.
