App Review Guideline

    2.5.1 Software Requirements: public APIs

    The app uses non-public (private) Apple APIs, or uses public APIs in a way they were not designed for.

    Why it happens

    • A third-party SDK that calls private selectors.
    • Code referencing private frameworks or symbols (often reported as ITMS-90338 at upload).

    How to fix it

    1. Find the symbol named in the message (nm or strings on the binary) and the library that brings it in.
    2. Update or replace that SDK; remove any direct private API calls.

    What to reply in Resolution Center

    After the fix is in the build you submit:
