Hey @theforeignoffice,
I believe this may be a result of Expo Managed projects having Push Notification capabilities bundled in regardless of whether you intend to use them or not. The best course of action would be to upload a Push Notif Key during the build step so that you can pass through Apple’s review even if you have no intention of using the notif service. You can read about this here: https://docs.expo.io/versions/v32.0.0/distribution/building-standalone-apps/#switch-to-push-notification-key-on-ios
Cheers,
Adam
