I am new to this technology.

I am getting following warning while uploading application from Application Loaded.

Warning says "The app references non-public selectors in "App Name" instance, viewController"

Please help me solve this warning.

Thanks in advance!

Will my application get approve?

Answer 1

Use App Scanner. It analyzes your .app file for private API method usage.

It will catch methods that have been named the same as a private API method, even if it has it's own implementation. Also, it'll catch @selectors inside methods (just like the official iOS automated checker).

App Scanner doesn't catch the case when performSelector: is called with a selector that is a private method. However, Apple's tools do catch that case.

Another Alternative APP Kit, though I haven't used it. Give it a try.

Check out this Q&A, if you haven't. How does Apple know you are using private API?. Looks Helpful.

Answer 2

Search for viewController in your entire project and search if there is any singleton implementation. Even if Apple approve you application, its not good to have non-public sectors in your application. You can also use App Scanner

Hope it helps you

Answer 3

What was the last thing you added to the code before you got this error? The error means you have a private API call, as my link above notes.

If you dont think it was your code, then it might be any of the included code.

Answer 4

@iPhoneDev: i guess your application will not be rejected due to this reason. Because i have faced this warning in one of my app, and it was accepted successfully. So no need to worry

Answer 5

I think you might have a function named instance somewhere in your code, such as:

+(id)instance{
    return something;
}

.. maybe a singleton implementation? If this is the case, just rename it.

I've seen apps approved despite the fact that they triggered similar alarms, but why would you want to risk a rejection?

Answer 6

Almost certainly get rejected for this.

Just a guess, but search for "viewController" and see if you are referencing a private instance method, or perhaps a private instance variable via dot notation: .viewController

Answer 7

No, your app will be rejected like this. Definitely. Apple review team uses the same checks as Xcode plus a few more.
