Previous updates went smoothly. In the past two days, we’ve been stuck on this issue. We’ve modified all instances of “bypass geo-restrictions or content limitations” in the app’s UI, but it still doesn’t work. Is there anyone who can help me? Thank you very much.

We asked the review team about the issue, and their response was just a repetition of the previous content, which was of no help.

Is it possible that the issue is caused by content outside the app, such as the official website?

Does your app actually bypass geo-restrictions or content limitations?

You may have been marketing it as being able to do this, and removing the text from the UI certainly will resolve the marketing aspect of the issue, but if your app actually does these things it'll never get approved because it violates the guidelines.

@Anumundu, what dark paw said is very important. You should take care not to try to walk around guidelines and fool reviewer in a manner that could be seen as a breach of code of conduct (guideline 5.6). That could lead to a termination of your account.

So play it open and fair with reviewer.

Thank you for your post. We believe we have resolved this issue. If you continue to experience issues during review, please contact us.
