App Rejected "Your app is not functional when Location Services are disabled"
HiI have a location based dating app on the App Store since Febuary 2018. A few times our updates have been rejected because of "Guideline 5.1.5 - Legal - Privacy - Location Services" and this is the message we get in AppStore Connect : "Your app uses location data for features that are not relevant to a user's location. Specifically, your app is not functional when Location Services are disabled." And the next steps : "To resolve this issue, please revise your app so that your app is fully functional without requiring the user to enable Location Services."What makes me very angry is that apps like Tinder, Happn or Zenly (and there might be others) AREN'T functional without requiring the user to enable Location Services !! There's a modal view that pops up straight after launch which asks you to enable location services.So my question is, did somebody already encountered this kind of rejection and how did you deal with this problem ?PS : I have explained in the notes that our app is a location based dating app and needs location services to be functional.Thanks for your help.
