Hello. Do yours API support IPv6? It is required for AppStore validation. Thank you! Without it API is useless for Apple iOS apps. I put a lot of effort to create app with your API, but I can't publish it(

Hi @Alari Not yet, I don't think. This is the first time I've heard anyone bring this up. Are they fully blocking new apps that don't provide IPv6 connectivity?

Yes, here is a news https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=05042016a I have to write backend service that accept IPV6 and send request to your API to pass through moderation.

Hi Alari,
I read up some more about this and it doesn't sound like we would need to provide IPv6 in order for you to pass the App Store review process. Given that there are hundreds of iOS apps that use TMDb, this makes sense to me since I've never heard from anyone else about this.
I found this article which might be helpful: https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/147579#147579
Have you read through the document?

Thank you. It says your app has to pass IPv6-only test, if I got it right:
IPv6 test became necessary only a few month ago, and if application uses IPv4 only API and was not updated, It would works.
And I think the problem was in IPv6. Apple support send me a screenshot where my app was infinite loading genre list on IPv6 only network. So I made API mirror of some methods on my server, bought IPv6 address and configured it. For example genre list http://alariblog.ru:8082/api/genre/a26edafdf2dba0954c794de0f3676b68.

After changing urls to my server, app passes moderation.
Thank you for your time and fast replies. I hope this information will help you to determine if TMDB needs IPv6. I love your API and hope TMDB will become the best movies source on the internet)
