mobile suite ios apple rejection

[Eng.mohd.badawi]

Hi
I got rejection for my first ios app submition to apple store with strange reoson : they are requesting to add the option to login with apple ! Please see the screen shot attached

And please help how solve this

This shouldn't be required until April 30th. You can get around this by disabling Login by Facebook in your iOS app.

Yes according to apple rules this shall be after 30 April since I still can see many apps using mobile suite and the demo app still have the facebook login

Facebook login is very importnat for users, is there any other way to get arroud this at least untel the new version of app released which suppose to have apple sign in option ?

I used facebook log in and it was accepted by Apple, the only issue that I faced with apple to approve my app is the date of birth since I checked in forum as required. Apple recomends to make it optional. So I disabled the date of birth as required then they approve it.

You can appeal the decision. I don't know what Apple Sign In will actually be implemented in the App.

really I dont know what they will gain from adding apple sign in option however I think it need to be added to the app in an urgent revision cause apple will keep rejecting.

I submitted appeal request, even I replayed in the Resolution Center trying to get the app approved and got apple review team answer attached

also I Voted in the tracker for adding the apple sign in

it seems they will ask to add apple sign in option in any new update for the app from now on, for me they didn't comment on the date of birth

The only workaround at this time is to remove Facebook Login. Adding Apple Sign-in requires new APIs and code in the core application. It isn't something that can just be added to the iOS App. It will be a significant undertaking and can't be patched in.

Yes, Apple is will be requiring it on all apps that use third-party logins. They are not willing to negotiate it. If you want Apple to change this policy, you need to complain to Apple.

I understand the difficulty in adding the apple sign in option, but I believe it should be added since loosing such important feature in the app (facebook login) is really frustrating

for my case I will wait to get answer on the appeal request if not succeeded I will remove the Facebook login for now

appreciate if you could guide me on how to complaint this to apple and I wish all our follow mobile suite users will follow the same and complaint this issue to apple

But nonetheless after 4/30, if we rebuild our respective iOS apps, will they comply with new Apple ID Unlock?

[Wayne Luke]

I don't foresee a new version of the Mobile Apps being released before 4/30/2020. Even then, development on this feature hasn't even started. If this is important to you, then you should vote for this issue: https://tracker.vbulletin.com/vbulle...sues/VBV-19431

After removal of facebook login Apple approved the app in two days, below link

We cannot possibly advise. We have no connection to Apple and no influence on how they implement their policies.

The best people to ask, I'm afraid, are Apple themselves.
