Apple rejects React Native build with "ITMS-90338: Non-public API usage"

[Tak-As]

Description

Submitting a React Native app build to the Apple App Store results in a rejection email regarding "Non-public API usage".

Dear Developer,

We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "AppName" 1.0.0 (1.2.0). Please correct the following issues, then upload again.

ITMS-90338: Non-public API usage - The app references non-public selectors in AppName: centerY, hide:, isPassthrough, onSuccess:, permissionType, removeValuesForKeys:completion:, setLabelText:, show:, valueOffset, viewManager. If method names in your source code match the private Apple APIs listed above, altering your method names will help prevent this app from being flagged in future submissions. In addition, note that one or more of the above APIs may be located in a static library that was included with your app. If so, they must be removed. For further information, visit the Technical Support Information at http://developer.apple.com/support/technical/

Best regards,

The App Store Team

I upgraded the OS to Monterey12.3.1, but there is no change.
However, in Xcode 13.3.1, the Validate App fails. (No error if Xcode 13.2.1)

Hey, there is a PR trying to address a similar thing - can you confirm you are trying to upload an app in debug mode? Any additional information about the issue would be helpful here @Tak-As @Andressaray

Hi there! Are you using expo-dev-client? Also, can you make sure you are using the latest version of the expo package - the latest as of writing is 45.0.4.

Thanks for reply.
In my environment ("react-native": "0.68.2") the result is the same in debug mode and release mode.
I can expect that my problem will be solved if the PR is merged.

Build fails when upgrading to expo 45.0.4 & expo-dev-client 0.9.5. (Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code)
