+1 to this thread, we are having the same issue and removing iPad from the supported platforms didn't stop them from still rejecting us. Has anyone found a solution?

Same here. Apple is not being helpful at all here. We also removed iPad and they tested it still, but they didn't even provide crash logs for us. We're pretty lost because we cannot even reproduce it as they don't allow iOS 17.3.1 to be downloaded for the simulator
