Is 'previewView' non-public API of iOS?

General
1

Our app was rejected by Apple.
They say that we use non-public API ‘previewView’.

I searched this string from backendless.a and found that it includes this string.

I think this is just a same name of Apple’s API and say them so.

Is there a way to avoid this rejection?

Hello,

This is a strange reason for rejection. All we have is this:

@property (assign, nonatomic) UIImageView *previewView;

As you can see it is not a non-public API.

We will change the name and republish the library to our site.

Also, please keep in mind that the library source code is available publicly (we made it open source):

Hi Jiro,

I sent you a direct email with an updated build. Could you please retry submitting your app with it and let us know if Apple accepts it?

Hi,

I checked github.
And found that source code of backendless.a is not uploaded on giuhub.

Now, backendless.a includes a string ‘previewView’,
so we need to rebuild backendless.a to rebuild my app.

I’ll wait untill you update the sdk.

Thanks,
Jiro

FYI,

Below is Apple’s reply.

Thank you for your reply.

We detect this as a private API, please fix the issue.
We look forward to reviewing your revised app.
