React Native: App Store Rejection, Support for IPv6

Question

I have a simple react-native client for a website, in login page it provides two option, enter login code manually or scan it using barcode scanner. i've tested the app in real device and emulator lot's of times it's working fine. Actually i test only over ipv4, and for login im using fetch, which i think is supporting ipv6 by default.

They say over ipv6 network when app was offline, i cannot understand what does it mean to be OFFLINE and be on IPV6 network?

When app is offline, i'm showing error to user that there is no connectivity. so i don't know how it can crash.

should adding a timeout to fetch request fix the issue?

But the app being rejected 3 times due to same error :

Performance - 2.1

Thank you for your resubmission.

Your app crashes on iPhone running iOS 9.3.3 connected to an IPv6 network when we:

Specifically, tapping the login still leads the app to crash.

This occurred when your app was used:

• Offline
• On Wi-Fi

We have attached detailed crash logs to help troubleshoot this issue.

Answer 1

You should test your app for ipv6 compatibility. Here is a tutorial that explains how to do that.

• Boot OS X 10.11
• Make sure your Mac is connected to the Internet, but not through Wi-Fi.
• Launch System Preferences from your Dock, LaunchPad, or the Apple menu.
• Press the Option key and click Sharing. Don’t release the Option key yet.
• Select Internet Sharing in the list of sharing services.
• Release the Option key.
• Select the Create NAT64 Network checkbox.
• Choose the network interface that provides your Internet connection, such as Thunderbolt Ethernet.
• Select the Wi-Fi checkbox.
• Click Wi-Fi Options, and configure the network name and security options for your network.
• Setting up local Wi-Fi network options
• Select the Internet Sharing checkbox to enable your local network.
• When prompted to confirm you want to begin sharing, click Start.
• Once sharing is active, you should see a green status light and a label that says Internet Sharing: On. In the Wi-Fi menu, you will also see a small, faint arrow pointing up, indicating that Internet Sharing is enabled. You now have an IPv6 NAT64 network and can connect to it from other devices in order to test your app.
