ios app store rejection - Your app uses the “prefs:root=” non-public URL scheme

Question

I recently uploaded a new version of my app to itunes connect. My app got rejected with this note

Your app uses the \"prefs:root=\" non-public URL s

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I resolved it as following:-

Step 1:- Search for the Prefs:root in your app then you will find something as follows:-

 if let url = URL(string: "App-Prefs:root=Privacy&path=LOCATION") {
 // If general location settings are disabled then open general location settings
    UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)
 }

Step 2:- Change the above code section with the following one:-

 if let url = URL(string:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString) 
 {
    UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
 }

Now rebuild your app and resubmit to the App Store with no worries :)
