4.3

The recent 'spam' objections are all directed to the same developer publishing similar versions of the same app for different 'stores' (i.e. multiple apps for different Barber Shops - one for in each town in California). While your app is the same it will hit the App Store from two different developer accounts so the App Store will not apply that recent concern to the two apps. But your app does have similar code so it still violates the 'spam' 4.3 guideline; but does it? Won't the versions be localized differently; one in Chinese the other in English? If so, go for it.

Any progress so far? I am in the same boat. My idea was also to publish these types of games, but of course making them different enough with existing apps. My second game got the 4.3 rejection. Both games are completely different in terms of ui design and gameplay, but use the same base code. Which I believe why is was rejected.

Today iMessage Sticker app got rejected as well with same reason: 4.3 Design: Spam. It doesn't have any design, it's a sticker app from default Xcode project. It has original content from original artist. These app reviews are getting weirder.

Would really like to know how to pass the 4.3 designs. Why do we need to create a creative apps to distribute stickers? If it need to be creative please let me know how do we create stickers apps for iMessages?

And as assumed, it got rejected:From Apple4. 3 Design: SpamGuideline 4.3 - DesignWe noticed that your app provides the same feature set as other apps submitted to the App Store; it simply varies in content or language, which is considered a form of spam.The next submission of this app may require a longer review time, and this app will not be eligible for an expedited review until this issue is resolved.

I have a lot of problems with this tool as well. It's extremely misleading and doesn't really help you align yourself any closer to the latest hls authoring guidelines. What I find even more annoying is that Apple's official examples, although, a bit contrived, all have Must fix issues and a handful of Should fix issues. Apple's hls examples should not return any validation issues with their own tool. I mean what's up with their IDRs? Do they know something we don't know? They should really just pull this tool until their own streams can pass. It's great for pulling the metadata into a formatted table, but if they can't follow their own spec themselves this tool just sends developers down an unnecessary rabbit hole It would be nice if they also added a bit more verbosity to their issues, even link back to their own guidelines doc.

4.3 spam is problem for us too,we developed a new innocative app but they insist on 4.3 spam.We ask which app is dublicate, they dont reply yet. We appeal but still waiting review board.What should we do?Thanks

Excellent points raised. I believe that the problem with 4.3 rule is that Apple does not evaluate at what point the difference in content justifies the existence of a separate app.We are developing theory test apps for the UK market and were contacted last year demanding some consolidation. We've been able to resolve it with Apple by removing all our paid apps from sale and instead using in-app purchases. I thought that it was a great solution as it indeed reduced the number of apps while allowing us to keep one app per each vehicle category (Car, Motorcycle, etc.) Recently, we've been contacted by App Review, and they now demand that we make further consolidations.From a marketing point of view, further consolidation makes no sense. Users are accustomed to seeing learning materials being separated by a vehicle category and would be puzzled if such a real-life model did not exist on the App Store. Imagine if you search for Motorcycle Theory Test and all you see are a list of Driving Theory Tests.The

I am having the same issue. In swift trying to run on a Series 2 GPS watch running watchOS 4.3.I get this on load:dyld: Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_CLKFullColorImageProviderAll the compications have images in the xcassests.

Same here. Can`t solve it. Getting this problem during the upload to ITC after a successful build. A collegue of mine can upload the exact same app but gets than an email with the following help:Invalid Binary Architecture - iOS 3.0 introduced support for multiple binary architectures. If your binary is built for multiple architectures, your Info.plist must have a MinimumOSVersion key with a value of at least 3.0.
