Application rejected by Apple Ipv6 error

Question

I developed a hybrid application using Ionic and when sending it to the Apple Store review it was rejected, I got the following error message:

We discovered one or more bugs in your app when reviewed on iPad and iPhone running iOS 9.3.5 on Wi-Fi Connected to an Ipv6 network.

Specifically, after we launched your app, an error message appeared.

The Steps to reproduce are:

1. Launch app
2. Note error message

They say Ipv6 support is required, but they only say that, without giving any more useful information. I have no way to test the app on an Ipv6 network at the moment. I’ve seen how to connect one on the mac, but I do not have an adapter for network cable, use only Wifi.

I searched a lot and saw several responses claiming to be an error in the way the requests are made to the API’s/ servers or configuration error in the server/API itself.

I do not know how to solve this, the app runs normally under normal conditions (understand: on an iphone network Ipv4) no problem at all, everything perfect.

Answer 1

I managed to solve the problem!

The app had no problems, since I followed all the references from apple to Ipv6 support. The point was that my server, where the app made the requests, was not set to support Ipv6, so it made the blessed mistake! It took me a while to realize, but after all that searching on the Net it worked.

So if someone has the same problem, be sure to follow apple’s standards and especially, check if the server supports Ipv6. If it is external hosting, as was my case, just contact your hosting team to see how to enable Ipv6 support.

Thanks to everyone who gave tips there!

According to this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/37896631/1518921 you can resolve in Cordova using this plugin Cordova-HTTP, you’re wearing Afnetworking v3.1.0

And you can do something like:

// usa AFNetworking se for iOS device
if ($window.cordova && ionic.Platform.isIOS()) {
    // $window.CordovaHttpPlugin.get
    // $window.CordovaHttpPlugin.post
    // ou
    // cordovaHTTP.get
    // cordovaHTTP.post
} else {
    // $http.get
    // $http.post
}

How to test if I am using IPV6

This seems to be the same problem https://stackoverflow.com/a/38500762/1518921

Accordingly with the Apple policy, your application will need support for IPV6

To test whether your application supports IPV6 or not use this Supporting Ipv6 DNS64/NAT64 Networks

To make this check will be national follow the steps indicated on the Apple page.

To set up IPV6 on your Local Wi-Fi network you’ll need to use your Mac:

1) Connect your Mac to another network that don’t be Wi-Gi using network cable for example.

2) Go up to System Preferences in the Dock, Launchpad, or on the menu.

3) Press the button Option and click on Sharing. Don’t release the button Option

4) Select Internet Sharing from the list of services sharing services.

5) Release the button Option

6) Select the checkbox Create NAT64 Network.

7) Choose the internet interface that will provide the Internet connection, something like Thunderbolt Ethernet or only Ethernet.

8) Select the Wi-Fi checkbox.

9) Click on Wi-Fi Options and configure the options name and security of your network.

10) Select the checkbox Internet Sharing and hablite your local connection.

11) When a window appears to confirm if you want to share click on Start

12) Now your Mac will function as a hotspot and use Ipv6 NAT64

Now connect your iPhone to your Mac and test if your application works as expected.

One detail, don’t forget to add the following frameworks:

1) Webkit

2) Cfnetwork
