App Store Rejection: Guideline 4.2.3 - Design - Minimum Functionality

Hi,

We've integrated scene groups and scene loading using Addressables. Builds and tests have worked great with a combination of local and remote groups on both the Play Store test tracks and through Testflight, however, we've been rejected on the following.

I have submitted a reply and appeal on the grounds that none of our remote assets are required to start the game, but I believe they have a problem with the resources being unpacked! I just don't know a way around this at this stage of development for us. Our game now relies on the resource management of addressables but it is somehow against the design requirement.

Has anyone come up against this? Is there a solution aside from removing Addressables support?

 

Here is our submitted version from testflight https://testflight.apple.com/join/XWmt39EQ if anyone would like further context to our issue. Our game is called The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency.

 

In conversation through the resolution centre we were able to explain the way we use local bundle groups and they proceeded with the review and they approved our app. What a roller coaster!

 

ios testers are noob and dummies,same S*** happens always.
