详细记录一下苹果审核九次被拒的经历
1、 针对Guideline 1.4.1 - Safety - Physical Harm的问题,如果App中涉及血压、心跳等相关的医疗数据,必须要提供仪器的医疗注册协议和医疗营业执照,除非功能做隐藏
2、现在审核周期一般是3天的样子,如果审核时间超过了1周,不管是否已经进入了正在审核状态都要注意了,很有可能是出现开发者账号已经被标记,该账号下面的应用提交审核或者审核通过的应用,多次出现违规情况,不符合苹果开发者的条规,但是仍然提交审核。这种情况会延迟审核时长,甚至不予通过。
3、遇到2.1的问题一定要注意不能重新提交审核,不能重新提交审核,不能重新提交审核,一定要在解决中心逐一回复对方,一定要在解决中心回复对方,一定要在解决中心回复对方,然后等待对方回复你,等待对方回复你,等待对方回复你。
因为你一旦重新提交审核,苹果审核人员就会看不到你回复的内容,然后就当做你违规处理,就会延期你APP的审核!!!短则7天,长则无期限,这是小编亲身体会得出的血的教训,大家以后一定要注意这个问题。(被延期审核后,即便你提出了加急审核,也是没有用的,最多改下你的状态,该等多久还是得等多久,一定要避免被延期) 如果很不幸,像我一样遇到了延期审核,那么解决办法有四种:
(1) . 等待,等待,等待,不推荐长时间等。
(2) . 在解决中心一直与苹果审核团队聊(两三天状态未变更,继续给苹果审核团队发邮件)
(3) . 向苹果提出电话沟通,在3~5个工作日内,会有人联系你,你可以向他说明你的问题,很快就会有结果
(4) . 换个开发者账号重新提交,最好先尝试方法2和方法3后,实在无解的情况下,再换账号。

解决方法:苹果审核在登录时候显示网络错误,我这边用同样的包验证没有问题,为了更清楚排查问题所在,我在登录的时候新增了有无网络的判断,和登录失败详细msg的toast。其实遇到这种问题时,可以直接回复苹果审核员,说验证后没有问题,让他们重新审核
第二次被拒

针对苹果2.1的7个问题做了一一详细回复,一直等待苹果审核。四天没有任何苹果的反馈信息,最终做了个愚蠢的决定,重新修改信息,再次提交审核,等待了三个工作日,审核状态一直为“正在等待审核”此时判断同一问题被苹果拒的次数过多,被打上了标签,延迟审核了。然后给苹果审核人员发一封邮件说了情况,邮件回复说给提上日程,又等了三四天,状态还是未变更,又给苹果发了邮件,很快审核状态变更为“正在审核”,10分钟后收到了被拒5.1.1的消息
第九次被拒
Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage Issue Description
One or more purpose strings in the app do not sufficiently explain the use of protected resources. Purpose strings must clearly and completely describe the app's use of data and, in most cases, provide an example of how the data will be used.
Next Steps
Update the camera purpose string to explain how the app will use the requested information and provide a specific example of how the data will be used. See the attached screenshot.
Resources
Purpose strings must clearly describe how an app uses the ability, data, or resource. The following are hypothetical examples of unclear purpose strings that would not pass review:
- "App would like to access your Contacts"
- "App needs microphone access"
See examples of helpful, informative purpose strings.
Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage
The app encourages or directs users to allow the app to access the camera and Bluetooth. Specifically, the app directs the user to grant permission in the following way(s):
- The user is redirected to the Settings app to grant access after tapping "Don't Allow".
Permission requests give users control of their personal information. It is important to respect their decision about how their data is used.
Next Steps
To resolve this issue, please revise the permission request process in the app to not redirect users to the Settings app after they deny permission.
If necessary, you may provide more information about why you are requesting permission before the request appears. If the user is trying to use a feature in the app that won't function without access to the camera and Bluetooth, you may include a notification to inform the user and provide a link to the Settings app.
针对5.1.1的问题,需要详细描述相应权限的作用,并且隐藏了“重定向到设置”的页面引导,终于成功通过审核
