iOS Question Invalid Binary

[ilan]

how can i solve this?

Dear Developer,

We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "Gimatria Calculator" 0.5 (0.5). Please correct the following issues, then upload again.

ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted. Instead, use WKWebView for improved security and reliability. Learn more (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview).

Though you are not required to fix the following issues, we wanted to make you aware of them:

ITMS-90078: Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears to register with the Apple Push Notification service, but the app signature's entitlements do not include the 'aps-environment' entitlement. If your app uses the Apple Push Notification service, make sure your App ID is enabled for Push Notification in the Provisioning Portal, and resubmit after signing your app with a Distribution provisioning profile that includes the 'aps-environment' entitlement. Xcode does not automatically copy the aps-environment entitlement from provisioning profiles at build time. This behavior is intentional. To use this entitlement, either enable Push Notifications in the project editor's Capabilities pane, or manually add the entitlement to your entitlements file. For more information, see https://developer.apple.com/library...s.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008194-CH6-SW1.

ITMS-90683: Missing Purpose String in Info.plist - Your app's code references one or more APIs that access sensitive user data. The app's Info.plist file should contain a NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription key with a user-facing purpose string explaining clearly and completely why your app needs the data. Starting Spring 2019, all apps submitted to the App Store that access user data are required to include a purpose string. If you're using external libraries or SDKs, they may reference APIs that require a purpose string. While your app might not use these APIs, a purpose string is still required. You can contact the developer of the library or SDK and request they release a version of their code that doesn't contain the APIs. Learn more (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/core_app/protecting_the_user_s_privacy).

Best regards,

The App Store Team

Note that they are only requesting you to fix the UIWebView (should be WKWebView) issue.

But you include libraries, frameworks. So you need to remove program parts step by step.

thanks Jordi, the thing is that i am not using Webview in my app but thanx to @Semen Matusovskiy and his post here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ew-apps-that-use-uiwebview.117310/post-733726
i updated Admob SDk and will see if that works. (uploading right now a new build)

ok, final conclustion.

the only issue that makes the binary invalid is this:

ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted. Instead, use WKWebView for improved security and reliability. Learn more (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview).

the other 2 issues in the mail will not make your binary invalid, i guess it is just a warning. Anyway, i am not using Webview in my app but i do use Admob.
As already mentioned above @Semen Matusovskiy noted in a thread that admob i using Webview so i updated the latest SDk to my LOCAL MAC but i did get the same issue. i also updated the iadmob library from this link: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/iadmob.47319/#content
but still no luck. Luckly i have a Hosted builder Account and i build my app with the Hosted builder and it worked.

What is missing on my Local Builder?

i am using b4i 6.80 and buildserver 6.8. i have copied the latest Admob SDK folders to my local builder (drag & drop + Replaced).

those are the libs i am using:

do i need to update something else?

what should i do to be able to build my app with my local mac and upload it to the store.

my local mac is running:

macOS Catalina (v10.15.7)
Xcode 12.0.1 (12A7300)

thanx, ilan

iAdmob - take from https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/updates-to-internal-libraries.48179/post-733921
Admob SDK should be 7.58+. See https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/hosted-mac-builder-admob-sdk-update.117293/#content
