iOS build issue App Store prefs:root=

I have submitted an iOS build to the App Store and they reject the compilation due to this situation:

Guideline 2.5.1 - Performance - Software Requirements

Your app uses the “prefs:root=” non-public URL scheme, which is a private entity. The use of non-public APIs is not permitted on the App Store because it can lead to a poor user experience should these APIs change.

Continuing to use or conceal non-public APIs in future submissions of this app may result in the termination of your Apple Developer account, as well as removal of all associated apps from the App Store.

Next Steps

To resolve this issue, please revise your app to provide the associated functionality using public APIs or remove the functionality using the “prefs:root” or “App-Prefs:root” URL scheme.

This is my IONIC INFO:

cli packages: (/usr/local/lib/node_modules)

    @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.19.2
    ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.20.0

global packages:

In my case the problem was the use of prefs:root by a cordova plugin. After a search of the iOS project I have found that it was the diagnostic plugin.

https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-diagnostic-plugin/issues/262

After an update of the plugin it fixed itself.

I also found it might be in the background-geo

As a last resort if an update is not available to a broken plugin, deleting the related code from the plugin can solve the problem.
