Guideline 2.5.4 - Performance - Software Requirements

The app declares support for location in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist file but we are unable to locate any features that require persistent location. Apps that declare support for location in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist file must have features that require persistent location.

Next Steps

If the app has a feature that requires persistent location, reply to this message and let us know how to locate this feature.

If the app does not require persistent real-time location updates, please remove the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key. You may wish to use the significant-change location service or the region monitoring location service if persistent real-time location updates are not required for the app features.

Resources

• Review documentation on Starting the Significant-Change Location Service and Monitoring Geographical Regions.

Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage

The app encourages or directs users to allow the app to access the location. 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 location, you may include a notification to inform the user and provide a link to the Settings app.
