Yes apparently Apple's reviewer didn't know anything about Envato API so they keep asking me mostly about user privacy concerning which pretty obvious (to me) in my case because Envato site have all this information provided but yeah just play along the rules. Don't forget to answer them nicely.

And here's new trick to save you a day or two

This clarify will took 1-2 days to ping-pong with reviewer so next time don't forget to add this information (1)-(6) right away while you submit via more information field!

PS: Want to know what I answer to the reviewer to get approval at 1st try? Wait until my app reach 100 downloads and I will reveal the hint! (Yeah, not again LOL)

As you can see it's a plenty things to learn and many problems to hit along the way, Just deal with it and happy coding!
