Has anybody any idea of what I should do? I don't use push notifications, I just post to Facebook.

Social framework provides simple interface for accessing the user’s social media accounts. Like twitter , Facebook , Sina Weibo etc.
And to use the social framework you don't need Push notifications.
As you said you didn't use push notifications, then go to developer.apple.com and check that your APP ID must not enabled the Push Notifications and check your provisioning profiles.
And if you are using some kind of library or API which may be registered with Apple push notifications then make your you have make the proper settings for enabling the PUSH NOTIFICATIONS.

You need to enable "Push Notifications" in your project settings. Check attached the screenshot.

Firebase causes issue "Missing Push Notification Entitlement" after delivery to itunes connect

As you may be aware, Google starts to use Firebase as analytics so I want to use it in my current project. I succesfully finished the implementation and upload project to iTunes Connect. But I got mail below. I do not want to use push notificaiton option of Firebase but its included in SDK. Do I need to remove it?how?
Will it cause to get rejection from review?

If the library that you're using has any calls to the push notification API and you don't have a provisioning profile/certificate that enables your app to receive push notifications then you will receive this email from Apple. However if you do not need to use push notifications in your app then you can ignore this email.
This email doesn't mean that your app will be rejected. I used to get this email all of the time when submitting games made with Unity and using a certain Prime31 plugin for native functionality, it also made use of the push notification API which caused me to receive this email.
You can ignore it, it will be fine.
Solution:
Make sure your app does not utilize Firebase Cloud Messaging;
In your Xcode project, select the application target;
Go to Info tab (alternatively, select Info.plist in Project Navigator);
Add FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled and set it to NO;
Go to Capabilities tab and turn ON Push Notifications capabilities;
Re-generate provision profiles.
Objective: While this issue does not mean that your app will be rejected, the email is sent to everyone who has access to the app record on App Store Connect. For corporate team accounts this usually means that management stuff gets this "We have discovered one or more issues" email. For them it usually means that development team does something wrong. Hence, I've been asked to get rid of it.
If you using Firebase, but don't using firebase push notifications, to avoid this warning you should disable app delegate swizzling. Just adding FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled BOOL key with value NO to your Info.plist. And Your future release builds will be without any warnings about Push notifications.

It's Just a warning in case you intended to use push notifications and have forgotten the entitlement, if you do not require push notifications then you can ignore the warning.
If you do want to use push notifications however, you will need to add the relevant sections and permissions to your tiApp.xml file
You may still need to register your intent for notifications as per
this guide
If you are getting such email there might be the reason i listed below:
It might be because App Id you have used for this App in that You have enabled Push Notification.
So what happen with that is if you enable Push notification in App id & it will be not used in the App, They will expect it to be used once you enable.
If such issue i mentioned than you should edit App Id & disable Push notification.
I hope it will guide you.

Missing Push Notification Entitlement Warning in email

After uploading the App to AppStore, I am getting the following warning in an email, where as there are no Push Notifications in my App but there are some third party SDKs like Chartboost, Applovin, Revmob, Crashlytics etc. Has someone else also encountered this problem?

It means your provisioning profile does not support apns. create a provisioning profile with push notifications enabled and upload.
Check out for third party frameworks like
airpush
urbanship
etc...
These frameworks can register your app even though you don't register it in app delegate
Make sure push notification is disabled in these frameworks

Remove push notifications api?

Is it possible to check application for using push notifications api? I removed push notifications from the app, but my app rejected with the following warning:
Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears to include
API used to register with the Apple Push Notification service, but the
app signature's entitlements do not include the "aps-environment"
entitlement. If your app uses the Apple Push Notification service,
make sure your App ID is enabled for Push Notification in the
Provisioning Portal, and resubmit after signing your app with a
Distribution provisioning profile that includes the "aps-environment"
entitlement. See "Provisioning and Development" in the Local and Push

not use the Apple Push Notification service, no action is required.
You may remove the API from future submissions to stop this warning.
If you use a third-party framework, you may need to contact the
developer for information on removing the API.
So As I understand I should:
If your app does
not use the Apple Push Notification service, no action is required.
You may remove the API from future submissions to stop this warning.
Is is possible to check for the api?
I had a similar issue but with a Cordova App on iOS, ignoring the warning could cause a future app reject with no advice so I suggest to solve it. This post helped me.
I hope this helps you too.
