IDFA strikes again - Rejected with chart boost ads

BigDave

had apps handed in to apple with 0.12.4 using chart boost and iAds all 10 apps got rejected because IDFA identifier was checked but the use of ads could not be found by the apple review team.

Is there a variable they check which might not is up to date or is it just a lazy reviewer which isn't waiting 60 seconds for the appearance of the chart boost ads.

i even mentioned in the reviewer contact box of all 10 apps that the ads appear every 60 seconds in the menu not during play sessions.

Apple is really annoying since 3 weeks. Got multiple rejections which go through by unchecking the IDFA checkbox but I think chart boost requires them checked.

For completion's sake, the all to well known rejection message of apple:

Apple does not have as many reviewers as they should, so if you game only shows ads after 3 or 4 rounds for example, they may miss it. Reviewers go through so many apps a day that usually don't play the game long enough to see the ad. Even if you write down in the Comments for reviewer while publishing they may still overlook it.
