I haven't had the misfortune of a rejection on that basis but it is good to know that I can keep it in my next app. I should have said, "may be" rather than "is"--I was extrapolating from a different case a colleague experienced where they experienced a rejection from calling a private method, but I think that was iOS, and maybe the rules are more stringent there. I haven't read the latest App Store guidelines so I can't be sure. Hopefully the inconsistencies in approvals are a thing of the past... Best, Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
