How to resolve app validation "The app references non-public selectors in Payload/MyApp.app/MyApp: _setAlwaysRunsAtForegroundPriority:"?
Solution 1
Expanding on @Véger Lóránd answer:
The bug was re-introduced in the 4.1.1 version. Installing the latest version will get your app rejected. The solution for now is:
cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-ionic-webview
cordova plugin add [email protected]
Solution 2
I got a similar problem:
ITMS-90338: Non-public API usage - The app references non-public selectors in MyAppName: _setAlwaysRunsAtForegroundPriority:.
And the issue was caused by the following plugin: cordova-plugin-ionic-webview
To solve the issue update to the latest version with the following commands:
cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-ionic-webview
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-ionic-webview@latest
You can read more about it here: https://github.com/ionic-team/cordova-plugin-ionic-webview/issues/209
Solution 3
This worked
The problem is related to webview.
cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-ionic-webview
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-ionic-webview@latest
Solution 4
this is only security warning caused by webview. you can ignore

I removed the complete line of _setAlwaysRunsAtForegroundPriority:
as described above from code. Also the references to it. And yes, the app got released. BUT I don't know exactly the consequence of removing the property which sets the browser to foreground priority mode. I don't think its a good solution, its just a provisoric workaround to get released.

Just days ago I successfully upload Ionic app to Apple Store, and on this day I am receiving validation warning:
The app references non-public selectors in Payload/something.app/something: _setAlwaysRunsAtForegroundPriority:
While I was unable to resolve, I was able to upload app to App Store.
Does anyone know where it is documented or have any insights on how to resolve?
Thanks.
