Reply to 4.3 Design Spam
a) It might be that this particular submittal/app is flagged, but, a rejected app by itself doesn't necessarilty mean an account is flagged, unless, the rejection also perhaps said 'account is under investigation', in which case you may be prohibited from submitting additional apps, in which case there wouldn't be any 'future reviews' to be shadowed, so... Your question seems to conflate apps w/accounts, and, you didn't share the rejections/appeals, so, not clear.b) If I can be blunt - A 4.3, IMHO, is a polite way of saying 'sorry, you don't have an app'. You can't adjust something that isn't there.c) Subjective? Seems like a trick question.BTW, we haven't used iTC for quite some time. ASC now, App Store Connect.

4.3 Design Spam
Weve spent 20k on an app thats just been rejected as design spam.Does that mean:a) the account is marked and future reviews will be shadowed?b) theres no point in making adjustments?c) surely design is subjective - especially since the first reviewer didnt bring it up and only after it was re-submitted after answers to the res center it was 4.3'd?any advice?

Reply to Apple Developer Program account under investigation
I have the exact same message from Apple and my developer account is just 4 days' old.My first app was approved a day before. The second app has the exact same design but present a totally different information as i want users to have a similar experience using all my App. Anyway, I think this may have violated the following.4.3 SpamDon’t create multiple Bundle IDs of the same app. If your app has different versions for specific locations, sports teams, universities, etc., consider submitting a single app and provide the variations using in-app purchase. Also avoid piling on to a category that is already saturated; the App Store has enough ****, burp, flashlight, and Kama Sutra apps, etc. already. Spamming the store may lead to your removal from the Developer Program.Anyway, I'll wait for Apple to respond.

Reply to Apple Developer Program account under investigation
I have a 6 million downloaded basketball game, I made a soccer game based on it by 1.5 years. Apple rejected the soccer game and told me that they will terminate my account after 14 days, I feel inexplicable, I have never sell this game, I transferred the basketball game to a new account because I don't want to lose it after 14 days.I submited the soccer game again for review by another new account.But it has been rejected by 4.3 spam, ridiculously he said that I dumplicated my own game, because I used to submitted the game by the terminated account. And the new account under investigation.I have not update the basketball game for 6 months,I don't want lost the basketball game if I update it.

One game, publish in different regions with different publishers
What if a game is published by 2 different publisher(different company, different developer account), each will publish the game in a certain region. For example , company A publish English version of the game in USA and Europe, company B publish Japanese version of the game in Japan, and maybe later some company C publish Korean version in Korea. Is this break the 4.3 guideline? Is there any solution?p.s. Apps in different regions have partially different assets ( images/texts/language related contents ) and connect different game servers.

Rejected - 4.3 Spam
Good afternoon, I will tell you my case, 2 years ago I uploaded applications to the store without any problem, I even uploaded my first application that was an application to download wallpapers, after that I was developing games, of which I went up to the store without problems, now I have been developing applications by hobby, but in all the cases that I have tried to publish them I find myself with the same copy / paste of 4.3 - Design spam, which always leaves me in them, I don't know what to add or remove for that my application is not considered spam, sometimes it seems that they do not even review it, there are occasions that the review does not last 5 minutes. What would you recommend me to do? Thanks

Let me try to understand what you are writing. Your app and device is on the market (#1 above) . Now you are trying to get approval for an additional app that interfaces with a similar device marketed by a different company (#2 above where with our own should be with their own). And the additional app has now been rejected under the guideline 4.3. Is that correct?You have two avenues forward -1) create a separate developer account under your clients name and submit the additional app under that account. Be sure that the additional app is really different from the user's perspective.2) (better IMHO) update your current app so that it is a generic app that can be used by either your device or your client's device (or future clients). Under that generic app create two branded options that the user selects. Advertise your device (and have your client advertise their device) as using the well-known generic controller for photo frames.
