dis moi ce que je dois faire ? Hi Matthieu, 

 

Two things before we can draft reply to 2.1:

- will you or Cedric update https://www.misterbandb.com/pages/privacy-policy to include info about biometrical data processing by shufti pro at misterbandb?

- do you remember a data retention period with biometrical data at shufti pro? It should be set-up during a contract signing. According to their policy (https://shuftipro.com/services-privacy-notice/ point 13) it's 'Per Client instruction', so no a general default number.

So we need that number from a contract or need to contact shufti support or we can give to apple a default 4 years from our policy https://www.misterbandb.com/pages/privacy-policy.

 

Best Regards,

Anton

Hi Anissa! I don't understand why there is an issue with 6.5-inch iPhone screenshots and not 6.9-inch iPhone screenshots.

Manu declined the same creatives for both formats.

 

The 6.5 vs 6.9 split is not a real difference. App Store review is done by humans and is inconsistent, so the reviewer just cited the 6.5 set this time. The 6.9 set is not approved, it simply was not flagged, and 2.3.3 applies to both. 

 

On the actual fix: the rejection is about content, not size. 

The Apple guideline say: screenshots must show the app in use, not title art, a login page, or a splash screen. And text and image overlays are explicitly allowed. So the captions are not the problem, we do not need to strip them.

 

The problem is the base image. Apple wants a real, functional app screen inside each frame. The first screen is promotional title art (the 2M banner), which is exactly what they call out. The Start conversations screen is a staged collage of floating cards, not a real screen. The rest have real UI but in mockup-style layouts, so the reviewer marked all 5.

 

My recommendation: use real screen captures from the running app as the base of every screenshot (feed, activities, profile, conversations, chat), keep the caption on top since overlays are allowed, and drop the title-art banner and the floating-card collage

Hi Matthieu,

Do you know what face data are ? user photo ? 

I’m not aware we are using face data ? Is it ID verification ? 

 

After analyzing and discussing with the developer: face data does not mean a normal user photo. It means biometric facial data, when the app actually analyzes a face (facial recognition, face matching, liveness, face mapping). Just storing or showing a photo is not face data.

 

For us:

- The profile photo (gallery or selfie) is only an avatar, with no facial analysis, so it is not face data.

- The only possible source is the ID verification in the booking part. And since users can reach the booking part even from Weere, Apple treats it as part of the app.

 

Our ID verification is not only a document check. Via Shufti Pro it also captures a selfie, runs a liveness check, and matches the selfie against the ID photo. Shufti Pro does this as our provider and we do not store the biometric data ourselves, but it still counts as the app processing face data, so we cannot tell Apple otherwise.

 

Apple (Guideline 5.1.1) requires the privacy policy to describe how this data is collected, used, shared and retained, and ours currently does not explicitly cover face or biometric data.

 

We have two options here:

- Option A: try to answer Apple using the wording we already have. Our policy already mentions matching the photo on the ID document with another photo (section 3.4), sharing with identity verification providers (section 6.5), and retention of identity verification data (section 5). This is fast and needs no change to the policy, and sometimes a structured answer like this satisfies the reviewer. 

https://www.misterbandb.com/pages/privacy-policy

- Option B: add a short facial/biometric data section to the policy (naming Shufti Pro). This is the safe path and is also what GDPR expects for biometric data.

 

The risk with Option A is that it might not work: neither section explicitly uses the words "face" or "biometrics," which Apple specifically asked us to cite. If Apple rejects this approach, we'll lose the review cycle and end up adding this paragraph anyway 

 

Please decide which option you prefer

Subject Re: Re[2]: apple submission

 

Hi Anissa!  Apple rejected the latest build again. This time there are two separate items.

 

1. Guideline 2.3.3 (screenshots). The reviewer says the 6.5-inch iPhone screenshots still do not show the actual app in use in most of the images. They want screenshots that clearly show the app's core functionality on each supported device. 

 

<Снимок экрана — 2026-06-16 в 10.04.06.png> 

Could you please provide the new images? 

 

 

 

2. Guideline 2.1 (Information Needed about face data). Apple needs detailed answers about how the app handles face data before they continue the review. 

<Снимок экрана — 2026-06-16 в 10.06.59.png>

To reply in the Resolution Center, Anton and I can answer some of their questions ourselves (what the data is, how it is used, sharing, storage, retention). But two of them depend on the privacy policy:

- Where in the privacy policy is the collection, use, disclosure, sharing and retention of face data explained? Identify the specific sections.

- Quote the specific text from the privacy policy concerning face data.

 

I rechecked our privacy policy (https://www.misterbandb.com/pages/privacy-policy) and it lacks clear wording about the user's facial photo needed to answer these two questions. 

Could you ask the relevant team to update the privacy policy with this information? That is the only thing blocking my reply to Apple, and once it is updated I can quote the exact sections they need.

Please let me know if anything is unclear or if you will need my help

 

Best regards,

Lyudmila

We already prepared the build without iPad support  https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps/6760485927/distribution/ios/version/inflight, I removed the screenshots related to iPad, and updated the Suport URL to misterb&b Zendesk. Next step upload new screenshots for iPhone (after Manu finishes them), and we need to decide whether to keep the zendesk URL or add another URL for support. 

 

After that we send the new version for Apple review

Thank you, Anissa!

 

The first screenshot looks like a splash screen, so I'd suggest removing it, since Apple specifically asks us not to include login or splash screens.

 

Regarding the Support URL: Apple flagged weere.com because the page didn't give users a way to ask questions or get support. Their rule is simply that the Support URL leads to real contact information (a support email or a contact form) so users can reach us about app issues. The page's brand isn't part of the requirement, so Apple doesn't demand a dedicated Weere URL, and pointing it to another brand's page isn't officially prohibited. The only caveat is that a stricter reviewer can sometimes treat a general company page as "not specific enough" to the app, but that's a reviewer preference, not a written rule. 

 

So we have two options:

1. Fastest: use the misterb&b support center (misterbandb.zendesk.com/hc/en-us). It already has contact options and should unblock us now

2. On-brand: a simple Weere support/contact page with a support email or form. This keeps Weere separate, but it needs to be live, so I think we'd need a task for the web team for this

 

Please let me know what works best for you.

 

Thank you!

I will work with Manu to sort this out.

 

Regarding the url, do you think that not having a dedicated weere url but a misterb&b one could be an issue?

That's why I added this one because the weere app is supposed to be different from the misterb&b one.

 

Thank you,

Thank you for your response. Quick note: to go iPhone-only we'll need a new build with iPad support removed — a metadata change alone won't do it. I'll ask the developer to take care of that.

 

For the new iPhone screenshots, Apple needs the actual app in use (community feed, chat, etc.) — not splash, login, or marketing mockups. Could you pass this on to Manu?

Subject Re: apple submission

 

Hi Matthieu, Anissa

 

Apple has rejected the app again 

Some good news first: Apple has dropped the two main blockers. Guideline 1.1 (Objectionable Content) and 4.3(b) (Spam) are no longer mentioned in this review — repositioning Weere as an LGBTQ+ social/community app worked.

 

This time there are three new issues, and all of them are clearer than the previous ones:

https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps/6760485927/distribution/reviewsubmissions/details/5f053737-62d1-4d82-bf64-34271b41cde3

 

Guideline 4 - Design (slow performance)

Apple reviewed the app on an iPad Air (5th generation) and reported that it loads, refreshes and runs slowly. I've already created an iOS task and prioritized it (#20291), the developer will look into it first thing Monday. 

As an alternative, we can exclude iPad and ship Weere as iPhone-only. That would remove this issue completely, and would also drop the iPad screenshot requirement below. If iPad isn't a priority for launch, this is the fastest path to approval. 

Let us know which way you'd prefer to go

> iphone only for now but let’s work on the ipdad version 

 

 

Guideline 2.3.3 - Accurate Metadata (screenshots)

Apple says the current screenshots (6.7" iPhone, 6.5" iPhone, 13" iPad) don't show the actual app in use "The 6.7-inch iPhone, 6.5-inch iPhone, and 13-inch iPad screenshots do not show the actual app in use in the majority of the screenshots. Screenshots should highlight the app's core concept to help users understand the app’s functionality and value. " 

We need new screenshots taken from the real app screens, showing the main features in use (community feed, chat, etc). Branding, captions and a device frame are fine, but the actual app UI must be clearly visible inside each screenshot. Apple does not accept pure marketing mockups, splash screens, or login screens. This requires design work (If we decide to go iPhone-only, the 13" iPad set is no longer needed.) 

If Emmanuel needs my help preparing the real screenshots, please let me know

> iphone only but Manu will work on the ipad screen for the 2nd release

 

 

Guideline 1.5 - Safety (Support URL)

"The Support URL provided in App Store Connect, https://weere.com, does not direct to a website with information users can use to ask questions and request support"

<Снимок экрана — 2026-06-06 в 12.02.48.png>

 

We need a new link for this.The simplest fix is to point the Support URL to a working support page — for example https://misterbandb.zendesk.com/hc/en-us, or a dedicated Weere support/contact page if you'd rather keep it branded. 

Could you confirm which URL we should use?

This one is perfect!

Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once we resolve these issues, we will prepare a new application.

 

Best regards,

Lyudmila

Objet apple submission

 

Hi Matthieu, 

Apple has rejected app again. They didn't answer our request to provide more details on Objectionable Content but this time we have a new rejection reason in addition to the previous ones. 

https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps/6760485927/distribution/reviewsubmissions/details/5f053737-62d1-4d82-bf64-34271b41cde3

 

Guideline 1.1 - Safety - Objectionable Content

The app's marketing includes terms or images that reference objectionable content or services. These references can be found in the app's metadata, including, but not limited to, the following metadata field(s): description.

 

It's the same as before and they again specifically mention that issue is in description. No additional info was provided. 

We can ask them again what they don't like (takes 1-2 weeks for the to reply), or we can redo description to be as safe as possible and update it for next releases after app is approved and live.

 

Guideline 4.3(b) - Design - Spam

We encourage you to reconsider the app concept and submit a new app that provides a unique experience not already found on the App Store.

 

This one new and concerning. Need to be really careful with our next actions. 

I'd suggest we make sure we really address 2 other points and do a new submission (not reply to the current one) and also add internal message explaining uniqueness of the app. 

 

from ai suggestion:

What to do: position Weere as an LGBTQ+ social/travel/community app, not as a dating app. You already have a travel component (the shared foundation with misterb&b) and community features — these are what need to be brought to the forefront. Dating features should be presented as one of the secondary capabilities, not as the core value.

 

We're open for other ideas.

 

Guideline 2.1(b) - Performance - App Completenessyour app displayed a 401 error message when we purchased the subscription. 

 

We're checking logs to see where the problem is coming from. We were no able to recreate the issue in our sandbox env. 

 

We need decision on first 2 points. 

 

Best Regards,

Anton

When misterb&b asks you to enter your data to allow access to one of the functionalities or services of the misterb&b Platform, certain fields may be mandatory.

 

This is data that misterb&b needs to provide the service in question or to enable access to this functionality or services. If you decide not to provide this data, it is possible that your registration as a Member cannot be completed or that you cannot benefit from the full range of the Services offered by misterb&b.

Communication data with misterb&b. When you contact misterb&b for assistance or to request information, you provide data about your communications, such as their content. Calls made to Customer Service are recorded for the purpose of checking the quality of the service provided and gathering evidence. You keep the right to object to the recording of your call when it begins. Please note that misterb&b collects the telephone number you use to contact Customer Service and associates it with your misterb&b Account, if it is different from the telephone number initially entered.

Communication data with other Members. When you communicate with other Members via the misterb&b Platform, you provide misterb&b with data such as the content of these communications.

Payment data. To make a booking via the misterb&b Platform, you should provide your bank details. Please note that if your payment is made via one or more Third-Party Payment Processor(s) used by misterb&b, your bank details are directly collected and encrypted by this (or these) Third-Party Payment Processor(s), without this being directly collected neither visible by misterb&b. Please also note that, bookings for Professional Lodgings advertised on the misterb&b Platform by Partner Agencies, the payment process is not ensured by misterb&b, which only collects and transmits your payment data to the Relevant Agency Partner.

Complaint and dispute data with other Members. When you file a complaint with the Customer Service (for example, the application of the Force Majeure policy or Travel Issue policy), or a complaint against another Member related to a dispute between both of you, you must provide a certain amount of data in order for misterb&b to conduct the most accurate possible analysis of the facts.

 

2.2. Additional data that you can choose to provide to misterb&b

 

You can choose to provide additional data for various reasons, such as enhancing the attractiveness of your misterb&b profile and Listing, answering the recurring questions from other Members, or sharing your personal experience.

 

Additional misterb&b Account and profile data. You can choose to provide additional data to your misterb&b Account and your profile such as a profile picture, your mother tongue, your gender, your time zone, your interests or a personal description in order to present yourself to other Members and visitors.

Additional Listing Data. You can choose to add data to your Listing such as a description of the neighborhood, the Rental Property, its facilities and the amount of the deposit, when you require it.

Spontaneous identity verification data. You can directly choose to have your identity verified by the services of misterb&b by completing an identity verification process (involving the transmission of a copy of an identity document). Please note that a dedicated icon appears on the public of your misterb&b profile after your identity has been verified.

Review data. You can choose to leave reviews (for example about a Rental Property that you have booked, a Guest that you have hosted or a venue that you have visited) in the form of ratings (Ratings/Notations) and / or of writings (Travel and Guest Reviews), which are made public and then become visible to others.

ecris ca en angmais : Le piège d'Apple : La check-list pour que ça passe à 100%

L'examinateur d'Apple va croiser trois sources d'informations. Elles doivent toutes être alignées :

La Privacy Policy (Fait) : Le texte que je t'ai rédigé doit être publié en ligne.

Le Questionnaire "App Privacy" dans App Store Connect : Anton ou Lyudmila doivent aller dans l'interface App Store Connect de l'application, section Confidentialité de l'app, et modifier les réponses pour déclarer la collecte de "Données sensibles" (Sensitive Data) / "Données Biométriques". Si le questionnaire dit "Nous ne collectons rien" mais que la Privacy Policy dit le contraire, c'est le rejet automatique.

Le message d'autorisation de la caméra dans l'app (Info.plist) : Quand l'utilisateur va activer la vérification d'identité dans l'app et que la caméra va s'ouvrir, le texte système d'Apple (le purpose string) doit être ultra-explicite.

Exemple de texte requis : "Weere requires camera access to capture a selfie and your ID document for secure biometric identity verification via Shufti Pro." (Éviter les textes trop simples comme "Besoin de la caméra pour la photo").

trad en fr : 4.6 Biometric Data Processing

In connection with the identity verification services provided by our third-party partner, Shufti Pro, we may process specific biometric data to ensure the security and authenticity of our users.

 

What is processed: This includes facial biometric data, such as a selfie, liveness check data, and facial mapping used to match your likeness against the photo on your official identity document. This process is essential for fraud prevention and to maintain trust within the misterb&b community.

Purpose: This data is processed solely for the purpose of verifying your identity and preventing fraudulent activity on the Platform.

Data Sharing: This biometric data is processed by our service provider, Shufti Pro, under our strict instructions. We do not store this biometric data ourselves; the provider performs the analysis and returns the verification result to us.

Retention: Biometric data collected for identity verification purposes is retained by our service provider for a period of four (4) years from the date of collection, in accordance with our security requirements and applicable regulations.

Your Rights: You have the right to request information regarding this processing or to request a human review of the verification outcome by contacting our Customer Support.
