    Apple does not seem to understand why your app requests permission for the location. Please open Info.plist in Xcode: https://prnt.sc/utalas

    If your web app needs access to Location, please describe in the Info.plist entry (see screenshot link above) why your web app needs access. This reason will be displayed to iOS users when you share your web app.

    If your app does not need access to Location, please delete the corresponding line.

    Then send a new version to the App Store Review. Use a higher build number than your previous upload (the version number can remain the same, e.g., version 1.0 build 2).
