4.3

Hello Apple Developer Support & Community, I’m reaching out regarding the unexpected termination of my Apple Developer Program account, associated with App ID: 6744330283. Recently, my app was flagged under Guideline 4.3 - Spam, and I was asked to make necessary changes. I followed all guidance provided by Apple, including a phone call with an App Review team member, who clarified the steps I should take. I did not submit any further update after that call. However, before I had the chance to upload the new, compliant version of my app, my entire developer account was terminated without a clear explanation or additional warning. I believe this was a misunderstanding, as I was actively working on compliance and fully committed to resolving the issue. My app is not spam I only followed Apple’s instructions I never uploaded a new version after my call with App Review No specific violation or example of “spam” was shown to me I’ve submitted an official appeal via the App Review Board, but I’m hoping

Hello everyone, I am seeking advice regarding a recurring issue with our app, YouMi UM, which was rejected due to alleged spam under App Review Guideline 4.3(a). The review team stated that our app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept with apps previously submitted by a terminated Apple Developer Program account. Our app, YouMi UM, has been successfully launched on the Android platform, and we have invested significant effort into its UI design and features. However, when submitting to Apple, the review team pointed out similarities between our app and others submitted by different developers, particularly in terms of binary files, metadata, and concept, which led them to believe it might violate Guideline 4.3. Our app is independently developed, with all code and design being original. We have also added several unique features, such as real-time news widgets, branded dynamic toast notifications, and exclusive scene transition animations, which are not commonly found in similar

Hello everyone, I'm looking for guidance on a situation that has been quite frustrating for me. I've developed an AI-powered Tarot app that offers an innovative and enhanced experience. Its features include: 3 different tarot decks 70 tarot spreads AI-based personalized interpretations Extensive customization options The app has been successfully published on Android (You can search Tarot AI 3D in the android store) and has received positive feedback from users. Many have contacted me asking for an iOS version, so I decided to rebuild it in Unity with an improved approach, ensuring it meets quality and uniqueness standards. This new version has already been approved on Android. However, after several attempts, Apple has repeatedly rejected it under Guideline 4.3(b) - Design - Spam. I carefully reviewed the guidelines and put all my effort into creating a unique, high-quality experience. I have submitted two appeals (one 15 days ago and another about 5 days ago), but I have not received any response.

Hey everyone, We recently submitted our new dating app, Rove Dating, and it’s been rejected under Guideline 4.3(b) — “Design: Spam.” I’d really appreciate your insights, especially from anyone who’s faced something similar or has experience getting nuanced apps approved in a saturated category. Before building Rove, we spoke to dozens of users of existing dating platforms. We consistently heard the same thing: people are deeply dissatisfied with current apps. They’re overwhelmed, burned out by swiping, and frustrated by endless choices and low-quality interactions. It became clear that the problem isn’t that there are “too many” dating apps — it’s that most aren’t adapting to how people actually want to date in 2025. We designed Rove to address those pain points head-on, with a totally different approach to matching, message limits, and emotional safety. We believe our app meaningfully improves the dating experience — but we’re having trouble getting that across in the review process. Below is the ex

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out to seek advice and support regarding a confusing issue I’m experiencing with my app’s review process. App ID: 6744330283 Here’s the situation: Versions 1.0 and 1.1 of my app were approved and successfully published on the App Store. However, updates 1.2 and 2.0 have both been rejected for Guideline 4.3 – Spam. The rejection happens extremely fast – less than 10 seconds after the app goes “In Review”, it gets rejected. There is no indication that the reviewer even launched the app. This is very frustrating because: The app has real user reviews, In-App Purchases, and active paying users. My app is 100% original – it is not a copy or template-based app. Even worse, the review process for versions 1.2 and 2.0 took over 7 days before even starting, and then they were rejected instantly, again without being opened. I’m happy to cooperate and improve my app further, but I feel like this may be a misunderstanding or a mistaken flag by an automated process. Has anyone experie

We submitted our application for a review and got rejected with the followings. Review date: February 18, 2025 Version reviewed: 1.0.0 Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps previously submitted by a terminated Apple Developer Program account. Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps. Next Steps Since we do not accept spam apps on the App Store, we encourage you to review your app concept and submit a unique app with distinct content and functionality. Resources Some factors that contribute to a spam rejection may include: Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts Learn more about o
