iOS app denied: AVAudioSession

[Ralph DiMola]

Dan,

I have never seen anything like this in the 8 years of having iOS apps reviewed (and rejected). I have used location but not audio.
I just had three 9.6.0 apps approved last weekend. I'm planning to submit a 9.6.1 app today and will let you know if I get a strange rejection.
 
Just spit-balling here but I would be inclined to submit a new binary with no changes and bump up the version and see what happens.

Ralph,

I have no idea.  This is the screen shot that Apple included in the "Resolution Center" when they denied the app.   I assume they are using people in another country to review apps?

    Dan,

    Why is there a foreign language in the left top bar header to the right of the time? I spent some time in Japan and this message suspiciously looks like katakana and kanji.

    Mark,

    THANK YOU for the quick reply.   I wasn't using 9.6.1-rc-1 and rc-2, I was using 9.6.1-rc-2 and the final release of 9.6.1.

    >> Can you reproduce the request for microphone access which Apple observed?
    I cannot.  I installed the submitted app (using TestFlight) on my iPhone X and I DID NOT get the Microphone request dialog.

    Apple did provide a screen shot of the dialog they see, but it's strange...   Why is it in a different language?   And, could this have anything to do with the issue?
    See it here:  https://www.clearvisiontech.com/temp/fromApple.png

    What would you suggest I do next?


    Thank you!

        The only difference between 9.6.1-rc-1 and rc-2 was the removal of some 
        no-longer-used references to an Ad SDK on Android. 9.6.1 was the same as 
        9.6.1-rc-2 (except for version).

        Apple update their review processes all the time, so it is possible they 
        changed something between the two app submissions.

        The most important question here is: Can you reproduce the request for 
        microphone access which Apple observed?

        If not, then you need to find out how they did and dispute the rejection 
        - it could be human error on their side...

        If you can, then it suggests that you might have some code buried 
        somewhere setting the audio category - or use of the video camera is 
        using a default category Apple doesn't like.

        Make sure you aren't asking for a video camera with both audio and video 
        - i.e. just audio only.

        Failing that, there is mergAVAudioSessionSetCategory - you could try 
        explicitly setting the category to "ambient" on startup.

        Warmest Regards,

        Mark.
