My Cordova app got rejected by AppStore review. The reason behind rejection is app exhibits bugs. Details of the affected functionality is furnished below.

My app has a New User? Register here link to the apps site, say https://www.example.com. When the user taps on the example.com opens in new safari window. It works fine for me. But AppStore team has attached a 403 screenshot in resolution center.

The site doesn't throw 403 when accessed from any browser directly. Even from IOS Safari.

Code to open the link is pasted below,

var ref = window.open('https://www.example.com', '_system', 'location=yes');

Not sure whether is a problem with the 8.4.1, Cordova or .net website.

Any kind of help would be deeply appreciated.

Are you sure that your website is configured correctly? 403 means that they're unauthorized to get the page... – lifeisfoo Sep 03 '15 at 07:10
@lifeisfoo, yes, i can access the site properly via any browser, even from ios safari. – Rahmathullah M Sep 03 '15 at 07:14
Your website require any authentication? Have you tried with a different or "clean" device? – lifeisfoo Sep 03 '15 at 07:17
@lifeisfoo, I can access the site properly from iphone safari. Is it something related to the `https` – Rahmathullah M Sep 03 '15 at 07:20
You should provide more information about the error and your webserver/site/webapp, otherwise I can't figure out how to solve this. – lifeisfoo Sep 03 '15 at 07:29
can you share the url? so we can try to access it and let you know if we can access or we get the 403 – jcesarmobile Sep 08 '15 at 11:26

I tried to register and seems to work on my iPad with 8.4.1. The screenshot they send is from safari? – jcesarmobile Sep 08 '15 at 15:26
@jcesarmobile, yes, they shared safari's screenshot. – Rahmathullah M Sep 09 '15 at 11:27
No idea then, but the problem must be on the server as the screenshot is from safari – jcesarmobile Sep 09 '15 at 11:32
@jcesarmobile, Yes it seems. Thanks for your time. :) – Rahmathullah M Sep 09 '15 at 12:09
