iOS app gets rejected because of use of "prefs:root" or "App-Prefs:root" private API's.

[ipehimanshu]

5.0.0 Binary Rejected Aug 31, 2018 Guideline 2.5.1 - Performance - Software Requirements Your app uses the "prefs:root=" non-public URL scheme, which is a private entity. Here is their suggested solution: Guideline 2.5.1 - Performance - Software Requirements

Your app uses the "prefs:root=" non-public URL scheme, which is a private entity. The use of non-public APIs is not permitted on the App Store because it can lead to a poor user experience should these APIs change.

Continuing to use or conceal non-public APIs in future submissions of this app may result in the termination of your Apple Developer account, as well as removal of all associated apps from the App Store.

Next Steps

To resolve this issue, please revise your app to provide the associated functionality using public APIs or remove the functionality using the "prefs:root" or "App-Prefs:root" URL scheme.

If there are no alternatives for providing the functionality your app requires, you can file an enhancement request.

So any one please help us to resolve this issue

Yes I get the same. If I remove "this if" https://github.com/guyromb/Cordova-open-native-settings/blob/master/src/ios/NativeSettings.m#L20 and this config https://github.com/guyromb/Cordova-open-native-settings/blob/master/plugin.xml#L36 all works. Tested in ios9-ios11.

@guyromb please could you tell us what you think about it?

Today I am going to do a pull request

With #34 I will get the same error. iOS don't want you use prefs API. You can not have pref API in URL Types. :-(
