Unlink the Touch Bar API?

Question

Apple has rejected my app by the following reason:

Your app links against the Touch Bar APIs but does not appear to include Touch Bar functionality.

If your app does include Touch Bar functionality, please respond to this message in Resolution Center with steps on how to locate it within your app.

If you do not intend to use Touch Bar, please unlink the Touch Bar APIs and submit an updated binary for review.

How can I disable the Touch Bar APIs?

Answer 1

This happened to me as well, upon grep using

grep -nrIi "touchbar" . 

grep results showed XCode 9 added allowsCharacterPickerTouchBarItem="NO" this to textfield in xib.

Changing this

<textField horizontalHuggingPriority="251" verticalHuggingPriority="750" allowsCharacterPickerTouchBarItem="NO" translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints="NO" id="aaa-bb-ccc">

to following solved the problem for me.

<textField horizontalHuggingPriority="251" verticalHuggingPriority="750" translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints="NO" id="aaa-bb-ccc">
