“4.3”

Dear App Review team, My app Goodie AI (Apple ID 6741483227) has been flagged as violating Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam. I thought I would reach out to the team to explain that Goodie AI is an entirely original concept, and would seek guidance on if we misunderstood what specifically the problem with the submission is. DESCRIPTION Please suggest next steps? We've already appealed, and have resubmitted the app. Thanks! SCREENSHOTS ATTACHED

Dating app removed for 4.3 design spam. What would be the easiest way to get approved again?

Hey everyone, My game got rejected due to Guideline 4.3. Here's the gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb6uBUsOSDg Does anyone have experience dealing with Guideline 4.3 and can share some insights? I already appealed, explaining that my game has online multiplayer battles, but no response yet. Feeling frustrated after spending six months on this game. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here is what we got.Our Apple Developer Program account has 21 games in sale. Last year we wanted to update one of them and we got a rejection of 4.3-Design. The Review Team suggested us to combine our apps into a single container app.Then we spent about three months to develop a brand new version which three of our apps were included in one. But when we submitted this version, we still got a rejection of 4.3-Design. Now we are so confused about how to solve this issue. Should we combine all 21 games into one? Or should we remove all other 20 games from sale to make this one's update approved?We are planning to keep just one of our apps in sale and remove all the others. The review team just do the copy and paste work and they didn't answer any of our questions. Could anybody tell us how can we update our app?

Hi guys, The ultimate carnage 2 is the sequel to the ultimate carnage on the app store. Witch is my own games. The game is totally different, it adds many new game modes, graphics and performance improvements. So I don't understand why it was rejected under 4.3 Design spam guidelines. How can I get my game to be accepted ? Thank you!

The 4.3 guidelines is designed to fight spams. But from what we have seen, it seems to go too far.What does Apple really want to achieve by pushing it that far and ban many businesses from their store?There are different ways to fight spam. You can improve your search ranking algorithm to get the spammy apps appear in lower ranks instead.

I've been updating an old app developed previously by someone else. He stopped working on this app some time ago, and my client assigned this job to me (this app developer previously worked for my client). He deleted his version from the App Store. But. when I try to publish my version (with the same name, features etc. only with some minor updates) it gets rejected with: 4.3 Design We 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. I've contacted the review team, telling them that there are no other apps like this one and that Im doing it with the consent of the same app company. But they keep sending me the same message. Unfortunately the original app creator can't move his app onto my account (his apple developer membership expired). And now I don't have a clue how to publish the new version, maybe its because of the different app bundle id? (For some reason it says that the o

Hi - After having spoken with Apple directly regarding 4.3 Spam Guidelines, (they were no help), I'd like to put this out to apple developer community for thoughts and feedback. Our business operates in such a way that it requires our customer to have their own branded app/experience. As we all know, managing multiple Apple Developer accounts, codebases, QA testing processes is an absolute nightmare and we would like to avoid this if possible. I don't think we can, but seemingly, other companies have not followed these guidelines and their apps are still in the AppStore, for now... https://apps.apple.com/us/developer/yardi-systems-inc/id425728804?see-all=i-phone-apps https://apps.apple.com/au/developer/buildinglink-com/id355921358?see-all=i-phonei-pad-apps How is this so? Are these companies infringing on these guidelines? How are they 'getting away with this'? Is it just a matter of time before Apple comes down hard on these companies for their app listings? And what is the best advice moving forwar

Dear App Store Review Team, We have made the necessary changes to our app, addressing any elements that might have caused similarities with other apps, such as shared open-source components. However, our app is still being rejected under Guideline 4.3. We are unclear on the specific reason for this. Could you please clarify which app our app is being compared to? Is the similarity in the code or the design? If it's the design, could you provide further guidance on which parts are considered similar? With a limited number of UI styles available, we are unsure if it is essential to create a completely unique design to comply with Guideline 4.3. Our app distinguishes itself through its operations, such as having a 99% message delivery success rate and providing superior service. However, these differences may not be immediately visible within the app itself. We would greatly appreciate clearer feedback and more specific advice on how to address this issue. Additionally, we are curious why our a

I have stuck with 4.3 policy for around 1 month. I don't understand Apple reviewer kept hitting me with 4.2 policy without further explain the problem. I do refer to other app and copy some code from stack overflow, how do I know which part is causing the problem. My app provide better soothing sound quality and the UI is all different. Thanks, kindly advise .....

Hello, Appeal Ticket: APL149985 Thank you for your patience as we considered your appeal. The App Review Board determined that the original rejection feedback was valid. Your app does not comply with: 4.3(a) - Design During our review, we found that this app duplicates the content and functionality of other apps submitted to the App Store, which is considered a form of spam and not appropriate for the App Store. Apps submitted to the App Store should be unique and should not duplicate other apps. We encourage you to create a unique app to submit to the App Store. For more information about developing apps for the App Store, visit the Develop section of the Apple Developer website. We appreciate your efforts to resolve this issue and look forward to reviewing your revised submission.

Dear Apple Review Team & Develpers! Could anyone clarify why Apple Reviewers, when rejecting the app under Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam, do not provide any specific details? Each time my app is rejected, I receive a generic, automated response. In contrast, I provide detailed information and request clarification on the exact reasons for the rejection- specifically, what aspects of the app do not meet Apple's requirements. However, the responses I receive are always the same standard message without any useful details. Am I correct in understanding that the review process is entirely automated, with no human evaluation, resulting in repetitive, unhelpful replies? I would appreciate a more detailed response that can genuinely help me address the issue and ensure my app complies with Apple's guidelines. Here is their standard generic response to any my reply where I provide details and ask questions, but Apple Reviewer answer alsway with the same text: Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam

Dear,We saw that many topics here are relared to that, but we could not find any reasonable solution, that's why there's another case of study.We publish magazines from very different publishers. Each magazine has their own content, trademark, subscribers... each publisher hires us to publish their content inside an individual and most of times custom apps. We don't work with apps generator, we develop in native language all the source code and we compile each app.As they all are magazines, they are very similar and have the same concept. I mean, magazines are magazines everywhere, we can't change their format... all magazines will have a download option, next, previous, forward, backward buttons, subscriber and buying system... there's no great news about it.However, Apple rejected some apps saying that it doesn't follow the 4.2/4.3 guidelines and recommended that we put all apps inside a container. Well, i don't need to say that it's not possible...What to do?Apple is doing that against small compa
