I have received the following rejection from Apple for my app the last couple of days. My app communicates with UDP and the remote server is always IPv4. I have used BSD sockets. Please guide me how can I solve this problem.
I have tried to create a NAT64 hotspot using an IPv4 network but I was unable to send any packets to the server. Moreover, we don't have IPv6 available at my place now.
From Apple:
2.2 Details
We discovered one or more bugs in your app when reviewed on an iPad running iOS 9.3.2 and iPhone running iOS 9.3.2 on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
Specifically, during review we were unable to bypass the Initializing page. We encountered an error while waiting for the app to load. We've attached a screenshot for your reference.
Next Steps
Please run your app on a device to identify the issue(s), then revise and resubmit your app for review.
Apps are reviewed on an IPv6 network. Please ensure that your app supports IPv6 networks, as IPv6 compatibility is required.
For additional information about supporting IPv6 Networks, please refer to Supporting iPv6 DNS64/NAT64 Networks.
