...Not on purpose, probably. This started immediately after their WWDC service downtime.

"Dear Developer,

We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "App" 1.0.0 (2). Please correct the following issues, then upload again.

ITMS-90338: Non-public API usage - The app references non-public selectors in App: authorizationCode, createRequest, estimatedProgress, identityToken, initWithFrame:configuration:, isMainFrame, isPassthrough, navigationType, onSuccess:, removeValuesForKeys:completion:, setNavigationDelegate:, setProcessPool:, setRequestedOperation:, setRequestedScopes:, targetFrame, userContentController, viewManager, websiteDataStore. If method names in your source code match the private Apple APIs listed above, altering your method names will help prevent this app from being flagged in future submissions. In addition, note that one or more of the above APIs may be located in a static library that was included with your app. If so, they must be removed.

The App Store Team"
