Rejected 5.1.1(iv): your pre-permission screen has a 'Don't allow' button, an 'Allow' button, or opens Settings too early
Apple rejected your app because the custom screen you show *before* the iOS permission dialog gives the user a way to decline, or its button is worded like a consent decision ('Allow', 'Accept', 'Enable', 'Grant') — or your app pushes the user to iOS Settings before they've actually denied anything.
Apple said something like
Guideline 5.1.1(iv) - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage. We noticed that your app requires users to accept the custom pre-permission screen before they can access the app's features. Users should be able to decline the request and continue to use the app.
Your app includes a screen that requests the user consent to access [location / notifications / camera] before displaying the system permission request, and does not allow the user to proceed without granting access.
The app requires users to grant access to [location] to continue, which is not appropriate for the functionality the app provides.
