ITMS-90338: Non-public API usage

[Tak-As]

What happened?

Submitting a React Native app build to the Apple App Store results in a rejection email regarding "Non-public API usage".

Dear Developer,

We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "AppName" 1.0.0 (1.1.9). Please correct the following issues, then upload again.

ITMS-90338: Non-public API usage - The app references non-public selectors in AppName: centerY, hide:, isPassthrough, onSuccess:, permissionType, removeValuesForKeys:completion:, setLabelText:, show:, valueOffset, viewManager. If method names in your source code match the private Apple APIs listed above, altering your method names will help prevent this app from being flagged in future submissions. In addition, note that one or more of the above APIs may be located in a static library that was included with your app. If so, they must be removed. For further information, visit the Technical Support Information at http://developer.apple.com/support/technical/

Best regards,

The App Store Team

Converted the issue to discussion, as this is related more to React Native, than just AsyncStorage.

In that case, I'd contact Apple review (you can do this in Rejection screen) and explain that you use third party library that has methods name covering with private iOS methods, so you cannot rename them.

It's the first time I see Apple rejecting the app due to this issue, so I think once you explain that part, you'll be good to go.
