Hi, I'm also having this problem:
"We've completed the review of your app, but cannot post this version to the App Store because it did not comply with the App Store Review Guidelines, as detailed below:
Leiser, why might an app built with AppMakr using a confirmed Distribution Provisioning Profile (cert) be rejected? I keep getting: "Invalid Signature - Make sure you have signed your application with a distribution certificate, not an ad hoc certificate or a development certificate"
Is the "com.pointabout" app ID more prone to rejection? Or could this actually be a cert problem even if AppMakr detects none?
Hello,
I got this ( Apps that are primarily marketing materials or advertisements will be rejected)
What I should to do in this case.
Thanks
Omran
Maybe AppMakr should consider another way of letting the user know that they are sending location information in feedback messages - because this method is not intuitive. Ever since that pin symbol showed up in the builds I thought it was a broken button to turn location sending off and on. That's after I realized that it had anything to do with location. I've been waiting for AppMaker to fix the "bug" that made the button not work (ie toggle off/on with a tap).
In my opinion, it shouldn't be an all or nothing decision for the user - If users turn off location services for the app at the system level then all GEOrss feeds are "broken" for them with the message "Location services are required - Location Services are required for this tab to work. Please go into your settings and turn location services on." I'm sure many users would like the passive use of their location to render extra value when viewing GEOrss feeds, and would like the choice of sending (or not sending) their exact location when sending feedback messages through the app. This is just poor design - please reconsider other options. Thank you for listening.
It seems that Apple is not aware that our Post Message feature has a pin symbol located in the header which indicates that this feature sends location information when a message is posted.
Therefore, we suggest that you include the following statement in your app description when including GeoRSS and/or Post Message features in your app. Including the below statement will make Apple aware that you actually are using location features and not just collecting analytic data:
This app contains location features. To prohibit this app from collecting location information, select "Don't Allow" when the ""INSERT YOUR APP NAME HERE"" Would Like to Use Your Current Location" message pops up.
My app was rejected with the following note:
"Hello Aaron,
Thank you for submitting [redacted] to the App Store.
We've reviewed your application, but cannot post this version to the App Store because it does not have location features but is requesting location information from the user. We have included some additional details below to help explain the issue, and hope you’ll consider revising and resubmitting your application.
Applications using Core Location information must provide user benefit and cannot be enabled solely to collect analytic data or to allow mobile advertisers to deliver targeted advertisements based on the user's location.
If you have any questions about this response, or would like to discuss it further, please feel free to reply to this email. We look forward to reviewing your revised app.
Best Regards,
App Review Team
