Apple and google sign in and app reviews

Hi, we are trying to get through apples review and they are complaining about having both apple and google sign in. How does everyone else solve this issue? Would Advanced Icon solve it? We do not use user login other that these two so hiding depending on the user is hard. I thought it was ok to have both buttons…

@JoseDine That’s bizarre. How do they motivate such requirements?

In their guidelines explicit requirement is not mentioned at all: App Review Guidelines - Apple Developer . As described here Apple (sort of) removes its requirement that apps offer 'Sign in with Apple' support - 9to5Mac, they’ve removed mentioning Apple Sign-In, but formulated the requirement in a way that only apple signin will match it.

So having 2 buttons should be fine. You may ask for a detailed explanation and also mention that you’ve been following the guidelines.

Best, Victor.

its the google play sign in they are complaining about

this it what they wrote and we had no screenshots with the buttons and its not mentioned anywhere: Issue Description

The app or metadata includes information about third-party platforms that may not be relevant for App Store users, who are focused on experiences offered by the app itself.

Next Steps

Revise the app’s binary to remove Google Play references.

Revised screenshots should accurately reflect the app in use on the supported devices and highlight the app’s main features in the majority of the screenshots.

Reply to App Review in App Store Connect with additional information if the app’s functionality and how it interacts with third-party platforms has been misunderstood.

Resources

@JoseDine so maybe it’s not the issue with Google Sign-In? :slight_smile:

Check your app screenshots (they should NOT be taken from Android), check if you are mentioning Google Play anywhere.

Usually if you politely ask for clarifications, Apple Moderators could be quite helpful.

Best,

Victor
