Hi Ned,

Yes, I have submitted Python apps to Mac App Store since 2009, for 12 years.

Each new push opens a new pandoras box with different questions asked than previously. There is no learning curve, is just walls with more walls behind each submission. The official reasoning behind all these controls is more security for end-users at the cost of less and less freedom for developers.

The app is a the result of the collaboration effort of many people and years of IETF works related to standards based real-time communications.

Two years ago we almost dropped the app because of almost impossible to solve issues raised by Apple. 

In the last year we spent many efforts to see if and how we can still comply with the more and more authoritarian demands of Apple to keep these works alive. 

I resigned myself to the thought that at some point we will hit a unsolvable issue, I just hope is not this one and now.

Adrian

So the question again is: what has changed? Were you able to successfully submit Python apps before? If so, exactly what version worked and what version is failing now/ There are some differences in how we have and are now building the Mac binaries for the python.org installers.  But I'm working blind here.  Perhaps some other people have experience with this.
