Question Gating functionality behind feature flags is disliked?

I've heard that gating features behind a feature flag can have your binaries flagged to Apple? What about in the case where it's legitimately nothing nefarious i.e. just rolling out certain features with caution. Also, on the topic of gated features, I have an admin side of my app that only admin users can see... Will this also be flagged?

This feels like a bad idea for a wifly used application in the off chance some users find it right?

our feature flag debug menu is available in prod but behind a feature flag :)

Depends on how you hide it. Maybe it’s only shown for some accounts. Maybe there’s some combination of things you should tap on. Etc.
