iOS app rejections

[PleaseDontForgetMe]

Our app received an almost identical rejection earlier this week after a significantly longer than normal (over a week) review process.

Problem Description:

Recently Apple review team started to disallow publishing iOS apps built with AIR to the App Store with the following statement:

---

Your app uses or references the following non-public APIs:

_IOPSCopyPowerSourcesInfo

_IOPSCopyPowerSourcesList

_IOPSGetPowerSourceDescription

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.

---

Analysis of the hex contents of the packed IPA file reveals that those methods are at least referenced somewhere in the contents. I was also able to locate names of those functions in the libRuntimeHMAOT.arm-air.a file located in lib\aot\lib folder of AIR SDK.

Possible reason for the problem is that the IOKit itself is supported in both macOS and iOS SDKs, but the functions IOPSCopyPowerSourcesInfo, IOPSCopyPowerSourcesList, IOPSGetPowerSourceDescription are marked as macOS-only.

There are two forum threads about the problem, it seems to be widespread:
