App rejected App store

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hello all.

I submitted my app for a bugfix and it came back to me after review with

Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness

After some search I found some post but without any answers and updates from owner.

My app is an ionic 3 app. Issue occures when double clicking on an input with ipad Air 2. I am not able to reproduce the issue on my iphone 6s.

Does anyone faced this issue?

After looking at the exception it seems to come from a native library and not from my code/or cordova code.

Does anyone has an idea?

Submissions to App Review, including apps you make available for pre-order, should be final versions with all necessary metadata and fully functional URLs included; placeholder text, empty websites, and other temporary content should be scrubbed before submission. Make sure your app has been tested on-device for bugs and stability before you submit it, and include demo account info (and turn on your back-end service!) if your app includes a login. If you offer in-app purchases in your app, make sure they are complete, up-to-date, and visible to the reviewer, or that you explain why not in your review notes. Please don’t treat App Review as a software testing service. We will reject incomplete app bundles and binaries that crash or exhibit obvious technical problems.

This does not help me at all. I read this.

My app was complete. And passed the tests.
I tested it on iphone 6s and first version has been tested on iphone X, iphone 6s

The reject is coming, as I am explaining, after a patch of my version which just includes text changes.

The bug is not obvious (Double click on an input text) and does not occures on all the devices I mentionned so why it should fail on IpadAir.

In addition if we look at the stack it just occures on native libraries not on my code or cordova or even ionic code.

I am searching for explanation not just general guidelines.

My backend is turned on and secured, I have no inapp purchase.

What’s the all msg apple sent you respectively what’s more than just the title Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness, what’s the content of the msg?

Following post, for example, was about the same subject but a problem related to in app purchase

https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/95807

The message is almost what I said.

They found a crash app when they tried to double click on input “email”.

This was on an ipdad air 2 runnning on IOS 11.2.6 connected to wifi. They attached the crash reports. I extracted the stack and saw this.

They also attached screenshots. Nothing more.

Advice was to test on real device but I cannot buy any device Apple provide. I do not reproduce on Iphone X and Iphone 6s and 6S+ running on same OS version.

In addition my app is not supposed to work with Ipdad but only with iphone however apparently we cannot distinguish both

Is not supposed to work with iPad or you don’t want to deliver it on iPad?

If the second one, have you set Xcode to ignore iPad? maybe doing so they not gonna test it on iPad?

Additionally, @speedflyer can add this line to config.xml to achieve the same purpose:

<preference name="target-device" value="handset" />

Hello,

Ah cool thanks I will try this. In fact I don’t want to deliver it on iPad yet because I will probably deliver another version on Ipad with other functionnality which wont be available on Iphone and with other design

I will try what you suggested

Hello @speedflyer,

Did you manage to submit your app to the App Store eventually?

Kind regards,
