Removed yarn.lock, ran npm isntall again as well, only one lock file, and rebuilt and resubmitted, no luck, the app was still rejected and the declaration of location permissions (that i screenshot in my last post) was not removed.
The initial blocked version was an internal testing release, everything I submitted since then has been a production release, I’m also going to try and release another internal testing release to see if it overwrites the issues they have on file from the first.
Yep! that was it, after I uploaded a build to internal testing, it deactivated the first version which was stopping me from changing my location settings declaration, after that I was able to change it to say that I do not collect location data.
