Mac App Store Refusal because of QTKit API's

[Phil Race]

Yes, these look like ICU functions which so far as I know FX only
references from its *own* internal copy of webkit which in turn has a 
copy of ICU.

What is very odd is that Apple is essentially then objecting to referencing
functions that are internal to your app. ie referenced by your app and also
fulfilled by your app, whereas I assume the app store checking should be
against deprecated Apple APIs that you reference in your app and that
are fulfilled by OSX (or iOS).

So something seems wrong here.

I’ve reviewed Danno Ferrin’s JavaOne session from last year; it says that Update 40’s libjfxmedia_qtkit.dylib or Update 20’s libjfxmedia.dylib should be removed and are by the packager.  I have this line in my packager output from the packager, as you can see the libfxmedia.dylib is in my app and pkg.  Is this an oversight by the packager and the libfxmedia.dylib should also be removed from my packaged application?
