Hi

I submitted a browser application (Safe Exam Browser) to the Mac App Store 
which is using an embedded WebKit (frameworks JavaScriptCore, JavaScriptGlue, 
WebCore and WebKit, build from the WebKit source tree). The reason for using a 
private embedded copy of WebKit is that the secure browser should be 
independent from the systems' WebKit which can get updated anytime by Safari 
updates and therefore could change the rendering of existing web content used 
for exams.

Apple didn't mind that (until now, maybe they just didn't realize), but they 
found that my application seems to use these private APIs:
"_NSPopUpCarbonMenu3,_CFBundleSetDefaultLocalization,kCAContextPortNumber and 
dispatch_source_mig_create that are included in your application comes from the 
following private Apple frameworks - AppKit.framework, 
CoreFoundation.framework,QuartzCore.framework and libSystem.B.dylib."

I'm sure I'm not using any private APIs in my own code, it seems the WebKit 
build is using those somewhere. I tried to search the WebKit source, but also 
didn't find any of the mentioned APIs.

Does anybody have an idea why Apple's App scanning shows these APIs to be used? 
If I would know where in WebKit these APIs are used it would maybe be possible 
to replace them with public APIs(?)...

I would be thankful for any help or idea. Greetings Daniel
