Hello,

We noticed one or more issues with a recent submission for App Store review for the following app:

Proposal

I was hoping that Flutter documentation could guide us developers further on how to address this before May 1st, 2024. I know that Apple documentation is there but it would be very helpful for the Flutter community to show how they addressed these requirements as well as the Flutter documentation highlighting how to do it successfully.
