iOS app rejected for VoIP background mode

Question

I have developed an application that uses Linphone VoIP API to receive incoming calls, but I don't want the user to make outgoing calls (because that's not what my app is supposed to do). I have enabled VoIP background mode in my .plist but the app got rejected because "it would be appropriate to add a calling-out feature or remove the VoIP background mode". Now I don't want to add call-out features but I totally need VoIP background mode.

How am I supposed to make my app run in background waiting for incoming calls if not using VoIP background mode?

I need a strong answer from someone so that I can get the functionality to work fine and also be approved for the App Store.

Answer 1

There's no way out. I had to implement outgoing calls features.
