We did just get approved with no explanation and no changes, after a total of 7 app version rejections including weeks of daily back and forth with app review.
We still don't understand what made them accept the previously rejected app with no changes. This does not give us much faith this issue won't keep happening again.
We did contact our UK apple business manager and ask if they had any connections with app review to help us get to the bottom of the issues. They initially said they were not able to help but did respond saying it had been escalated this morning so maybe that was it.
The only other thing it conceivably could be was a change to our app verified domains. We have used a subdomain for universal links of zable.co.uk (as in app.zable.co.uk - which is just a rewrite of the root zable.co.uk) since the app was first uploaded without issue, but we are thinking maybe the app passed because we added the root zable.co.uk as a verified domain as well as the subdomain?
Its a pain because now we need to exclude all routes that aren't to do with app linking rather than just include the ones that do. But seeing as Apple are as opaque about what is actually the problem with all this stuff - we are just left guessing.
