False. If you are using touch bar libraries you MUST have touch bar features and the reviewer can ask you where they are.

This really shows why apple needs to be strict with devs. They will include third party code (ad networks etc) without enough care - the networks then try to device fingerprint etc.

And 98% of the touch bar library use with no touch bar feature is abusive.

They should let devs appeal, but if a dev lies and claims no touchbar library use when there is some, ban their account permanently. The reviewer in these cases may want to see the touchbar feature that justifies library use, the app author saying they don't have any touchbar feature means use of library is improper.

So many devs do NO due diligence on the third party libraries they import.

Ok but there are no touch bar libraries in this case.

Not the case here. Also, if this issue was triggered by code, then it would come up in every update, instead of just occasionally at random.


My point is simply there are guidelines around touchbar - despite your claims. Stop trying to claim that there is no guideline - as I have repeatedly pointed out - if you are using touchbar libs to fingerprint devices for ad networks - that is not allowed as one example.

If this app wasn't doing any of that, then great! The reviewer was wrong. But to claim no rules around touchbar usage and calls is entirely false.


> Stop trying to claim that there is no guideline - as I have repeatedly pointed out

As I have repeatedly pointed out, I was never trying to claim that. You are arguing against a straw man.

You're right. You win. The straw man is defeated.


I have a hard time following you: it's been clarified that the code in question didn't reference the touchbar, neither directly nor indirectly. That's the whole point.
