This note summarizes the review result delivered through App Store Connect for version 1.20.0 on July 10, 2025. Apple identified three main issues related to privacy, account control, and app stability.
1. Tracking Disclosure and ATT
The app declared that it collects data for tracking purposes, but Apple said it did not properly use the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework to request permission before tracking users.
The path forward depends on the actual product behavior:
- correct the privacy declarations if the app is not truly tracking,
- explain platform differences if tracking varies by environment,
- or implement ATT if tracking really does occur.
2. Missing Account Deletion
Apple also flagged that users could create accounts but could not fully delete them. Temporary deactivation is not enough. If deletion happens on the web, the app must link users directly to the relevant page.
3. A Critical White-Screen Bug
Reviewers reported that when they tried to open a summary from a pasted URL, the app got stuck on a white screen on an iPad Air running iPadOS 18.6.
That means the app must be retested on supported devices, the issue reproduced and fixed, and the updated version resubmitted with clearer reviewer notes.
Conclusion
The rejection boils down to three concrete fixes:
- align privacy declarations with real tracking behavior and implement ATT if needed,
- add proper account deletion,
- and resolve the white-screen bug in the pasted-URL summary flow.
Once those are addressed, the submission should be in a much better state for re-review.
