I would like to inquire about a concern related to the app review process. Specifically, I would like to understand if forcefully denying an application's execution on the iOS Simulator (for instance, by implementing a check in the code that prevents the app from running in a simulated environment) could negatively impact or delay the app’s approval during the App Store review process. This measure is intended solely for security and integrity reasons during development and distribution. The app functions normally on real devices, and all other guidelines and requirements outlined by Apple are being strictly followed. Could you please confirm whether such a restriction on the Simulator is acceptable, and if there are any best practices or recommendations from Apple regarding this? Thank you for your support, and I look forward to your guidance.

We are reaching out to report a critical issue we are facing with Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) for our application. Since yesterday, push notifications have stopped working, and we are consistently encountering connection reset errors when attempting to connect to Apple’s push notification servers. The issue specifically involves the following endpoints: gateway.push.apple.com – 17.188.170.74 feedback.push.apple.com – 17.188.178.87 These connections were functioning properly until yesterday. No changes have been made on our end, and we have verified our server configurations. We kindly request your assistance in investigating this matter. Please confirm whether there are any known issues or restrictions related to the above IPs or endpoints that could be affecting our service. This issue is impacting our production environment and affecting user experience, so your prompt support would be greatly appreciated.
