App Rejected with iOS IPv6 network

Question

Yesterday, I submitted my app for review, but I got this message from Apple:

We discovered one or more bugs in your app when reviewed on iPad iPhone running iOS 9.3.2 on Wi-Fi connected to an IPv6 network.

Specifically, upon review we have found the application still experiences a loading issue and unable to review the application content.

My app uses ionic framework, how can I fix this problem?

I already used domain to access my server, but this problem still exists.

Yes. According to apple's policy , your application must supports IPV6. so, please check your application supports IPV6. Supporting IPv6 in iOS 9

To test, if your application supports IPV6 or not please check this ,

Answer 2

We also faced the same issue. Just registered your website with any CDN like cloudFlare and your app will be approved next time no need to shift the whole site to any other server. This is the easiest way to get approval from app store.

Answer 3

I think Apple has something wrong with this error!

I have an app (ionic app) rejected 3 times (during Nov 2016) for the same error and lastly accepted without making any change related to IPv6!

You may need to check your app for startup errors if you think that you have nothing to do with IPv6.

By the way: I did not check IPv6 compatibility on my app, and even more the app - in its inner views - has a connection to a webpage that hosted on a shared host with no IPv6 support!!
