According to https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/9171, iOS does not allow apps to read phone number from the device.

However, in the https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/ there is no mention about app rejection because of auto-reading phone numbers.

I want to know if auto-reading phone numbers is still not allowed / not accepted in iOS?

To be clear, I am not talking about Contacts; I am referring to the device phone number

The review guidelines wouldn't specifically mention disallowing reading the phone number because there’s no public API for reading the phone number in the first place. Anything that’s impossible using public APIs is implicitly disallowed.
