App rejected because of Guideline 4.3(a) Design
I am building my 2nd React-Native app which is a very simple Notes app. The functionalities are to be able to add, edit & delete notes. And, on the home page where the user can change the orientation of the notes to be in 2 column like a grid or just a list. My app has been getting rejected for Minimal design guideline & I don't know what to do to make it more complex. My first iOS React-Native app was just a single-page Weather app, again that was pretty simple. So, my question is what do I do? OR is the trick that I just keep doing little changes and try to submit & see which one gets accepted??

App keeps getting rejected (4.3 SPAM)
My app is completely unique, no other app has the main functionality of my app, and it was not bought template and coded from scratch. It uses Supabase for the backend, for context. I have no idea what to do, I just spoke with a review team member, and he kept saying the same thing, that he's seen similar apps, which when i clarified what the app did he just said that it could be a bought template which was used in fraud, and genuinely did not want to talk about the app so he basically cut the review shortly. I spent a month of my life on this app. I have no idea what to do. It does use Supercell images such as figures, but it follows all the Supercell Fan Content Policy guidelines.

Fee app rejected as 4.3 Spam of Paid
Hi,I'm looking for some advice here.I've developed a pair of apps following a free/paid paradigm. I did my reasearch the app(s) are unique, I'm not cloning anyones work.The paid version was approved for sale, but the free has been rejected because it was found to provide different content but are identical in functionality - to the paid app. (not true either, the paid has additional content and functionality)It seems to me what Apple are really saying is I must use IAP and the free/paid paradigm is no longer acceptable.I'm not sure how to manage this, perhaps the differences in functionality have been overlooked in the review and I should protest? or maybe I should just accept the policy change and get on with IAP?

Repeated 4.3 Spam Rejections Despite Unique GUIDs/New Bundle ID - Seeking Specifics & Call Request
Hello Developer Community and Apple Staff, Like many others I've seen posting here recently, I'm facing persistent Guideline 4.3 Spam rejections for my puzzle games. I'm hoping for guidance as I believe I've identified and corrected the initial technical cause, but I'm still facing rejection and need help understanding why. My Situation: I develop grid-based puzzle games in Unity, often using my own well-developed reusable codebase (for GridManager, Tile logic, etc.). My last successfully approved app (Seat Em All!) used my standard workflow: New empty Unity project + import my necessary code = No 4.3 issues. The 4.3 rejections started with my next game (Twisty Train). My mistake: Duplicated the entire Seat Em All! project folder, including all .meta files/GUIDs. I now understand this likely triggered spam flags due to identical technical IDs, despite adding new mechanics. My subsequent game (Egg Pack) unfortunately repeated this flawed copy process from Twisty Train and was also re

My Game is Rejected (Has Unique Features and Art Style) - Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam
Hi everyone, I recently received a rejection for my app submission on the App Store. The rejection reason was: We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences. Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps. (Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam) However, my game is quite different. It features a unique pixel art style and introduces fresh mechanics, such as cleaning tasks, accepting additional missions from NPCs, and even an idle clicker-style system where players can hire workers to gather in-game points. These elements differentiate it from other apps in the same category. My game's name is quite different as well: My Pixel Market Sim - AppID: 6742187384 Additionally, the code behind the game is completely my own, and I even sell a popular Unity Asset on the Unity Asset Store for this category. So, I can assure you
