Edit: We made it to the App Store!!!

Hey, so this is just going to be a quick post discussing my frustration with app review and how I am hoping beyond hope that someone here will be able to give me some insight on the process and what I might be doing wrong.

Lemmios keeps getting rejected by Apple for “Users cannot have a mechanism in the app to enable or disable access to NSFW content; enabling or disabling NSFW content should be done through the service website” and I am extremely confused about what they might be referring to since I believe that is how Lemmios currently works. If anyone has any ideas I will try them since this experience has severely lowered my motivation to work on Lemmios.

For some context my current note to the reviewers is “NSFW content will only be shown after it is enabled on lemmy.world, which has not been done for the testing user, even though there is an option to blur it that option will do nothing since no NSFW content will be shown to the test user (unless app review goes to the website to enable it). There is also an attachment to show how NSFW content is labeled as such if the current user has already enabled it on the website. Also, to block a user, you have to go to that user’s page and tap on the 3 dots in the top right corner and tap “Block”. Thank you!”

    I’m no expert, but I think they don’t want that toggle in-app and they want it on a website in a web browser. Like your app opens a chrome page to toggle the option.

      I agreed, maybe have the user profile (where I assume that setting is) open on a webpage, rather then be in app. Might help ?

      I mean it is not in the app at all, the closest thing the app has is turning on and off nsfw blurring, but I have just resubmitted a new build that doesn’t show that setting until NSFW is enabled on the account to hopefully fix their brains seeing the word “NSFW” next to a toggle and insta-clicking deny
