Xamarin.ios build rejected due to HEALTHKIT reference

Question

My xamarin.ios build has been rejected from the app center due to reference of HEALTHKIT framework. I can\'t set linker to SDK framework only because of some 3rd party liber

Answer 1

I had this recently, also tried what I could find online with no luck.

I used grep on the mac to find the said references :

 $ strings directory/Payload/UpCarePro.iOS.app/UpCarePro.iOS | grep Health

And then I removed packages one by one and rebuilt the project to find the one referencing it, once I no longer found any health reference in my project, I was able to pass Apple verification.

I had no new package causing this, and my app could pass the verification process many times before that, so I don't really understand how it started, but that's how I got rid of it.

I hope this helps.
