I built a pretty simple app and got denied from the app store twice because the “app contains hidden functionality to load a webview of external content within the app.”

I don’t have any hidden webviews specifically in Thunkable, so I don’t know what I’d remove to resubmit, but I am using an external Web API, so it’s probably related to that.

I’m trying to figure out if there’s something I can remove so I can resubmit or if this is something I should try to explain to the reviewer(s).

Has anyone run into this before?

Hi @truedrew - apologies for the delay getting back to you.

Do your have _any_ web viewers in your app?

No problem! Thanks for getting back to me.

There are no web viewers at all. There are 2 web apis, though.

It’s possible there was a web viewer in the project at some point while I was messing around, but if there was, it’s definitely been removed.
