Missing Push Notification Entitlement iOS App Submission (I don't use it)


I submitted a very basic app to the app store and I got this response:

Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears to include API used to register with the Apple Push Notification service, but the app signature's entitlements do not include the "aps-environment" entitlement. If your app uses the Apple Push Notification service, make sure your App ID is enabled for Push Notification in the Provisioning Portal, and resubmit after signing your app with a Distribution provisioning profile that includes the "aps-environment" entitlement. See "Provisioning and Development" in the Local and Push Notification Programming Guide for more information. If your app does not use the Apple Push Notification service, no action is required. You may remove the API from future submissions to stop this warning. If you use a third-party framework, you may need to contact the developer for information on removing the API.

I have seen a lot of questions on here about this and how to ADD it, but I haven't seen anything (maybe I missed it) about if I don't even use it. There's nothing in my app or when I submitted it mentioning push notifications. The message says "no action is required" and that the submission was successful, and then I got an email soon after saying the app was submitted and was under review.

I just want to clarify that I really don't have to do anything? It's my first submission and I don't want to assume I can just wait for approval/decline when this message they sent me is implying that I need to do something.


Solution

  • It appears that Apple has false positive.

    If such is the case, this question has been answered here:

    How to remove push notification API

    If so, this question is a duplicate.
