AIR4 Mac store submission: Deprecated API

I just tried to submit my app to the Mac store (following the known steps).

Got this error back:

Deprecated API Usage - Apple no longer accepts submissions of apps that use QuickTime APIs.

I realize not many devs care about the Mac store, but are there any plans for a workaround?

And by "following the known steps" does that include removing the included WebKit.dylib before you codesign the .app for submittal?

I am pretty sure that QuickTime APIs rejection happens when you don't remore the WebKit.dylib before signing (as that is still a required step unfortunately)

Of course, that also means you can't use HTMLLoader or StageWebView in your app either...

WebKit.dylib was removed (I double-checked by using Show Package Contents), this rejection has to be something different...

Well thats not good news at all

I really thought the QuickTime API rejection was part of the WebKit.dylib issue as I thought that was the verbage when I first failed to remove it, but Apple removes all Resolution Center messages from past binary submissions so I can't even check that.

Ironically Chris Campbell even recently asked for samples of MAS AIR apps:

What AIR SDK version are you using for this submittal and are you using any ANEs as part of the app?

I know the recent AIR 4 beta on labs is all about meeting Apple's new iOS XCode 5 February 1st requirements, but I wonder if there is anything in this update that also forces any new compatibility with the MAS as well.

Only other place QuickTime API rejections come up on a Google search is for somone using a third party developer framework:

Otherwise this is a pretty serious problem if the raw Mac AIR runtimes are facing new rejection issues for the MAS, my existing app on the MAS isn't due for a new update just yet so I won't know myself for a little while whether this is a new change for MAS when I go to update it.
