Current Behavior

We recently submitted our Flutter app (iOS) to the AppStore and received the following email:

Hello,

We noticed one or more issues with a recent submission for App Store review for the following app:

APPNAME Version 0.2.3 Build 26 Although submission for App Store review was successful, you may want to correct the following issues in your next submission for App Store review. Once you've corrected the issues, upload a new binary to App Store Connect.

Apple Developer Relations

I raised the issue with Flutter team and they deduced it to be a problem with this package only (at least for my project). One of the Flutter team members commented on another issue on this package referencing it and you suggested I raise it as a separate issue so here it is.

Expected Behavior

We shouldn't be getting these warnings from Apple.

Note: You'll need to update your package with the fixes asap. Otherwise this package won't be usable in our projects or any other project that supports iOS after May 24th, 2024.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Just add this package to any flutter app.
2. Submit the app to the Apple App Store.
3. Apple will email you the same warnings.

Platform

iOS

Flutter Doctor

N/A. Everything is working as usual otherwise.
