mobile application was rejected in app store due to health kit framework

Question

I made iOS app using Xamarin and my app is getting rejected for the following reason:

Apps using the HealthKit framework must indicate integration with the Health app in their marketing text and must clearly identify the HealthKit functionality in the app's user interface

But I don't use HealthKit anywhere and didn't enable it. I can't find any reference of it in the code.

Has anyone had this problem before? Thank you

Answer 1

I've resolved it by adding in project Properties, iOS Build: Additional Options => Additional mtouch arguments: --linkskip=HealthKit

Answer 2

Be sure to check on your Apple Developer Center it isn't activated it on your Application Certificates.

Answer 3

Oddly enough a week ago had my Xamarin app rejected for the same reason. Although on the resolution center they asked me if the App uses the HealthKit Framework and i replied that the app does not use it. Was approved the next day
