@phil-wilson @marikavertzonis @anshuman-mathur @brettstokes Regarding the first point, the way I'm reading this is that we install another app together with T2T. Could it be an uninstaller that does not work correctly? (I don't have a windows machine at the moment with which I could test this.)

The reference to Taiwan seems to be the fact that Taiwan labeled on the map as such (instead of Taiwan, China?). If this is the case, we will have a problem on our hands with any app that displays a map. Can we push back on that at all? There is no mention of Taiwan or China or ROC in the app itself.

• this page is the explanation of each warning - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/publish/store-policies
• regarding icon issue - it infers an unexpected icon is deployed to start menu - we previously had an icon clean up problem on windows - need to test on a clean machine
• regarding the map issue - agreed this is something we inherit. options might be to remove the map page (brute force approach and wont help us elsewhere), change the basemap to the World Imagery (has no labels), or change the default basemap and add basemap switcher (still might mean a tester will find the map with labels...)

[dominikargast]

@marikavertzonis I'm not sure how useful the world imagery map is. If we show that then we should probably also add a basemap switcher and we potentially run into the same issue.

Disabling the map can simply done by setting a switch to false. If our main concern is getting T2T out the door then this is probably the quickest way to resolve this issue.
