Dear Developer, We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "Saudi Freelancer" 1.0 (1.0.6). Please correct the following issues, then upload again. ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted. Instead, use WKWebView for improved security and reliability.

Phonegap build is discontinued https://blog.phonegap.com/update-for-customers-using-phonegap-and-phonegap-build-cc701c77502c

Old answer:

It's a known Phonegap Build issue, they have not updated cordova-ios to 5.1.1, required to hide the UIWebView code from Apple review. So you should switch to another service or build locally with a mac.
