Hello,
I have been rejected from the app store for using a private API. I don't know what the problem is as I didn't deliberately use it. This is what they said:
The use of non-public APIs can lead to a poor user experience should these APIs change in the future, and is therefore not permitted. The app includes 'NSTokenAttachmentCell._tacFlags' from the framework <AppKit.framework>.
If you have defined a method in your source code with the same name as this API, we suggest altering your method name so that it no longer collides with Apple's private API to avoid your application being flagged in future submissions.
Alternatively, this API may reside in a static library included with your application. If you do not have access to the library's source, you may be able to search the compiled binary using strings or otool command line tools. The strings tool can output a list of the methods that the library calls and otool -ov will output the Objective-C class structures and their defined methods. These techniques can help you narrow down where the problematic code resides.
For discrete code-level questions, you may wish to consult with Apple Developer Technical Support at <http://developer.apple.com/support/resources/technicalsupport/>. Depending on your questions, be sure to include any symbolicated crash logs, screenshots, or steps to reproduce the issues youve encountered.
To appeal this review, please submit a request to the App Review Board at <http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/contact.html>.
Here is the code I think they are talking about:
Can someone please tell me what is wrong?
Thanks!

Here is the code I think they are talking about:
Code:
-(IBAction)reset:(id)sender{
[weightField setStringValue:@"--"];
[milesField setStringValue:@"--"];
[calsBurned setStringValue:@"--"];
}
-(IBAction)ran:(id)sender{
int weight = [weightField intValue];
int runningTotal = weight * 0.75;
int miles = [milesField intValue];
int caloriesBurned = miles * runningTotal;
[calsBurned setIntValue:caloriesBurned];
}
-(IBAction)walked:(id)sender{
int weight = [weightField intValue];
int runningTotal = weight * 0.53;
int miles = [milesField intValue];
int caloriesBurned = miles * runningTotal;
[calsBurned setIntValue:caloriesBurned];
}
-(IBAction)quitHelp:(id)sender{
[helpPanel orderOut:nil];
}Can someone please tell me what is wrong?
Thanks!
