Hi

Just got an email from Apple's App Review team. They have rejected my app because it "does not fully utilise [Apple's Address Book] API that is included in the app code".

I never included any a line of code about the Address Book. Anyone heard of this occurring before?

We found that your app does not fully utilize an API that is included in the app code as required by the App Store Review Guidelines.
Specifically, the app uses the Address Book API, which allows access to the users Address Book database. This feature is not fully implemented within the app.
It would be appropriate to revise your app to ensure this feature is fully implemented or to revise your Application Description, Release Notes, and/or screenshots to remove this content.

I had an app rejected because it asked for your email.

Maybe you are doing something similar?

Best wishes,

Thanks for your suggestion, jessamy99.

You could be right, though if I did this, it was unintentional.

I reported the issue to LiveCode Quality Control Center:

Happily, on re-submitting my app to iTunes, it was accepted , though I have no idea why . I used a slightly later stable version of LiveCode, 6.6.2, and just went through the re-submission process. I may have filled in Apple's submission forms slightly differently, but if so, I don't know how.

Best of luck with your app submission!
