App rejected by apple 11.13.  Referenced the "Create Account" link in Sign In box

We have a multi-folio entitlement app (enterprise level) which we use to authenticate our current subscriber base.  In various places in the app we link to the website where a user can create an account and authenticate that account with a subscriber number.  The link goes to our website.  We are not trying to sell any subscriptions through this process. 
The message from apple was the following:
"The pages shown have links to outside webpages for account creation. The Sign In dialog also has a link for Create an Account which links to the same webpage. This is not in compliance with 11.13"
This is the account creation URL referred to by Apple:
http://www.ainonline.com/dpsregistrationform_isSubscriber
Nothing has changed about this process since we launched the app back in April and now we cannot update the app.  Do we need make the Account Creation process an in-app function?  Does DPS have the tools for this?  I would imagine most publishers need a way to authenticate current subs via some sort of authentication process and the App Builder only has an option to link to an outside URL. 
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated - thank you. 
Dave

You should make sure that your external website does not allow purchase of a subscription and then appeal the rejection. The guideline says:
"Apps that link to external mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the App, such as a "buy" button that goes to a web site to purchase a digital book, will be rejected"
Let them know that it doesn't allow for subscription purchase and is solely to create an account for use in the application.

  • Adobe Air Initiates the wrong launch Image on iPhone 6 - Possible App Rejection by Apple Review Team for all developers

    I've opened a bug for this issue as well. I want to ask if anyone experiencing the same issue and has found a workaround.  Basically Air Runtime is picking up the wrong launch image when launching on iPhone 6. It defaults to [email protected] instead of the [email protected] iOS 8 picks the correct image but Air Runtime does not. Here is the link for the bug. If this is confirmed, this could result in rejection for all the app developers who optimized their apps for iPhone 6 . It is hard to catch this bug in release mode since the Air Runtime loads pretty fast and it occurs when you device is slow or doing something in the background. You can see it easily on iOS simulator or debug mode. We tried everything for a workaround but we failed.
    Bug#3831747 - Adobe Air Initiates the wrong launch Image on iPhone 6 - Possible App Rejection by Apple Review Team for a…

    Apple recommends the storyboard/xib option but you can still use launch images as assets in your root. When you open a new project in xcode you can look at Contents.json and see the naming conventions they use for iOS8. We grabbed the new naming convention from here. Also setting up in the application xml the UILaunchImages key works too. Please see the below example. It would be a better solution if Adobe Air refers to xml/info.plist values that the developer sets instead of hard-coded naming conventions.
    <key>UILaunchImages</key>
      <array>
          <dict>
              <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key>
              <string>8.0</string>

  • Adobe DPS App rejected by Apple

    An app I created for a client just got rejected by Apple.
    The reason given was:
    "We were unable to complete your review because we could not install your app on a device.
    The UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key in the Info.plist is set in such a way that the app will not install on an iPad.
    Please ensure that the app's UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key configuration is correct. Attributes should only be placed in the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key if the attribute is either required for the function of the application or if it must not be present on the device. "
    How am I supposed to change the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key configuration?
    I thought that the Viewer Builder did that for you. I used V21, as the instructions said to use the most recent version. Could that be the issue?
    The app, which is a simple catalogue, ran fine during testing.
    What do I need to modify for them to be able to install the app on an iPad?

    Yes. I did and it worked perfectly.
    I thought about just re-generating the packet and rolling back the version of the builder to V20 instead of V21, and seeing if that does it, but our client is  in quite a hurry to publish this catalogue, and would prefer to not have to waste time waiting for an approval, without really knowing what the problem is.

  • I have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps on there?

    I (stupidly) have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps (from my old Iphone 4) on my new Iphone? Thanks

    You can use the same appleid that you purchased the apps with on the phone for the App store. Settings> iTunes & App Store and continue to use the other id for everything else allowing you to have access to your previously purchased apps. You can then either sync or download the apps without paying for them again.
    It can be quite handy having two appleids - it can be quite useful if you can manage them correctly. One id for the store and one for imessage is good for privacy if you have the same id in use on another device.

  • HT1338 App Store updates:  Repeated Error message saying I must sign in, though I already did.  , I click on update, Error message that I need to sign in to the same account I already signed in.

    App Store updates:  I sign in, my password is accepted, I click on update, and still get the error message that I need to sign in to the same account I already signed in at.  What do I have to do to get my app updates?

    Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
    1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
    Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
    2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
    3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
    4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
    5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
    Then repeat step 4.
    6. Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
    7. Launch iTunes and select
    Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
    from the menu bar.
    8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
    9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:

  • Apple Pay but skipped the part about linking iTunes Card

    I setup Apple Pay and skipped the choice to link the credit card tied to my iTunes account..  I added several other cards with no problem but would now like to link the card associated with iTunes account now..  Cannot find a place on the iPhone or iTunes to do so..  Thought I'd just blow away Apple Pay and start anew but don't see a choice to do that.. Can remove individual cards but cannot default Apple Pay and start anew..  Searched various sites and have not found an answer..  Any help would be greatly appr

    Based on what I have seen, the ability to add the credit card you have on iTunes is only available on initial set up. After that you will need to add it as you would any other card.

  • How do I add a link to the list of links under the "My Account Link"

    Q) How do I add a link to the list of links under the "My Account Link"?
    A) Edit any of your portlet web services and go to the "Advanced URL Settings" and then "User Configuration URL". If you type a path in this box, a link displays on the My Account page.
    You need to restart your portal web server to see results immediately because the display page is cached.

  • (Help!) Free subscription magazine app - rejected twice for same bug - Specifically, the activity in

    Hi,
    Here's the rejection response for the app.
    2.2
    We found that your app exhibited one or more bugs, when reviewed on iPad running iOS 7.1, on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
    Specifically, the activity indicator spins indefinitely purchasing a subscription. Please see the attached screenshot for details.
    For discrete code-level questions, you may wish to consult with Apple Developer Technical Support. When the DTS engineer follows up with you, please be ready to provide:
    - complete details of your rejection issue(s)
    - screenshots

    I had the same rejection the first time. After looking online at Adobe I thought it was a billing issue, so managed to get that rectifed. I hadnt used a shared secret (as it hadnt shown up because, I thought, the billing wasnt setup correctly). After we corrected the billing, I had access to the shared secret which I have used. 
    Any ideas what else this could be?
    The app is a magazine app which is for free subscription. That's the inapp purchase. No folio in app purchases, because they are free. Sent with the first version on the magazine published, although Apple coulnt have got to it as the subscription time's out.
    Help! Because this is the second rejection, it's two weeks on and I am getting close to an event which I must have the app live for.
    Thanks for any help,
    Matt

    Hi Neil,
    I used the guide to make the issue — so I think everything is in place.
    The first time around our billing wasn't setup so I didn't get to generate a shared secret. The second time I did.
    I generated the secret — which I can view under the in app purchase for the (free) subscription in manage in-app purchases. That code I pasted into the admin account iTunes Connect Shared Secret panel for the same customer ID (Account ID). I opened the Folio Producer Organiser afterward — how do you know it registers the code? I didn't see anything to indicate such.
    One thing — not sure if it's relevant — whenever the app fails it highlights in yellow the languages in the in-app purchase. I selected more languages this time to cover all the different kinds of English. Again, not sure if that's relevant?
    Plus when I click the link to view the app in the app store it says it’s not in the UK store and tries to switch to the US, which if you allow it then says it can’t find. I think this is because it’s not approved and the link will be good when that happens (hence I copied that into the section just below the shared secret on the DPS account admin panel).
    Honestly, I am a wee bit stumped now.

  • App rejected by Apple

  • Apple ID, email verification says the ID is already in use, but App world keeps saying i havent veryfied the email account

    Been trying to download apps for my iPad, just created my apple ID, the verification email keep saying in bold red letters that the ID is already in use, that I should only access the App world with that account, but at App world it says that the email account has nit yet been veryfied and resends the verification mail!! How can I solve this?

    You can check to see if it is associated with one of your IDs by following this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625, and entering the email address at step 2 to see if it finds an ID owned by you.  If it doesn't, contact the Apple account security team and have them check into it by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Apple ID account security.

  • HT204053 Multiple Apple Id's to the same account

    Trying to add my daughter to the same cloud account as mine, any ideas if this is possible? 

    If she logs into icloud using your ID and password, then she'll be connected to the same icloud account.  But this is usually not advised, since if she does connect to your account, she and you will get the same emails, have the same calendars and contacts, same notes, etc.  If she happens to delete a contact (one that is important to you), then you will lose it as well.  Is this what you want?
    The real question is why would you want to have her use the same icloud account?  If on the other hand, you want her to use the same ID for the itunes account (which is not the same as an icloud account), then yes, that's a good idea, if you want her to be able to download the same apps and songs,  etc. without buying them again.

  • HT204053 How can I give my kids apple id's on the same account?

    Right now we all share one ID, so the kids are logged in under my name and are now receiving texts from my contacts on their ipads. Should i give them each their own apple ID's or is there a way to keep the one account but add their emails/names to it? Thanks!

    There is no way to have different email addresses and names for a single iTunes Store account. But if this is just for messaging, you can set up different email addresses in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on the iOS devices.
