app审核会碰到各种问题，其中The app contains hidden features. 是最麻烦的之一，如果处理不好，会延迟审核，甚至下架、封号。有时app实际上并没有隐藏功能，还是会中招，通过我多年经验，尝试多种方法，经过一个月时间的周旋，终于把这个问题消除了。

App 审核

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Regarding previously communicated issues, we found that your submission does not comply with the following guidelines:
 

Guideline 2.3.1 - Performance

We discovered that your app contains hidden features.

Specifically, this app contains hidden functionality to load a webview of external content within the app. It would be appropriate to ensure that all features and functions in the app are visible and fully accessible during review.

The next submission of this app may require a longer review time.

Next Steps

- Review the Performance section of the App Store Review Guidelines.
- Ensure your app is compliant with all sections of the App Store Review Guidelines and the Terms & Conditions of the Apple Developer Program.
- Once your app is fully compliant, resubmit your app for review.
 

Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality

Your app provides a limited user experience as it is not sufficiently different from a mobile browsing experience. As such, the experience it provides is similar to the general experience of using Safari. Including iOS features such as push notifications, Core Location, and sharing do not provide a robust enough experience to be appropriate for the App Store.

Next Steps

To resolve this issue, please revise your app to provide a more robust user experience by including additional native iOS functionality.

We look forward to reviewing your resubmitted app.

Best regards,

App Review

Hello,

Appeal Ticket: APL41839

Thank you for your patience as we considered your appeal.

The App Review Board has determined that the original rejection feedback was partially valid.

Your app is no longer in violation of App Review Guideline 4.2.

However, your app does not comply with:

2.3.1 - Performance

We continue to discover that your app contains hidden features.

Specifically, this app contains a switch which causes it to behave differently during review regarding payment use and handling. It would be appropriate to remove this feature entirely before resubmitting for review.

We appreciate your efforts to resolve this issue and look forward to reviewing your revised submission.

Best regards,
Leo

 Please let me know the best times to reach you and if you require support in a specific language. We'll do our best to accommodate your requests. Best regards, Vivienne App Review

问题难点：不告诉你具体hidden的原因，你无法知道具体是哪个api导致的问题，你问他，他不回复答案，还是复制一次你有hidden feature，就这样和你浪费时间，不断重复，无法解决问题。webview无法使用，一旦使用就说你有hidden feature。

解决办法：1、尝试讲道理，说app没有隐藏功能。结果：没有用，他就一定说🈶，即使你没有。

2、尝试问出具体api，肯定是基于api静态扫描才确定问题，审核人员肉眼是看不了的，如果能闻到扫描到哪个关键词有问题，把这个改掉就好了。结果：他就是不告诉你

3、解释功能，解释可能用到违规api的原因，比如webview用在什么地方。结果：没有用

4、修改app，替换可能有问题的api，我这有一个多年积累的api敏感列表，通过转义修改和替换后，再提交，他扫描不出来，就通过审核了。
