Hi, i have an issue with location with IoS. My apps seems to need permission for location even though i am not using it in the block. Now my apps have been rejected by App Store due to requiring the use of permission without any justification. How can i remove the location permission. I have seen in another topic this issue has been solved with Android. I don’t have any issues publishing in Play Store. But now because of this location permission issue, my apps is being rejected. Any help appreciated. Thanks ---

Hey @apauaie, Are you using the web viewer component in your app? What sort of app are you trying to build? ---

After a little bit of testing, i realize it was the BLE block that requires location. Is this intentional? How should i justify the use of location in my apps if i use BLE. Is it possible to remove the permission for location for IoS? Any help appreciated. Thanks ---
