4.3

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

Our team has recently encountered a tricky issue: our game app was rejected during the App Store review process due to Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam. We firmly believe this to be a miscarriage of judgment, as our game app is entirely self-developed and does not copy or imitate any other app. We've noted that the App Store review team may have considered our app to share similar binaries, metadata, and/or concepts with other apps on the App Store. However, we would like to emphasize that our team has invested a significant amount of time, effort, and creativity in developing this app. Despite our best efforts, our app was still rejected. We are sincerely seeking help and advice from the Apple Developer Forums community. Have any other developers encountered a similar situation, and if so, how did you resolve it?

Hello, our game Nerd Survivors has been identified as spam. The game is based on an original IP and the only games that should share any resemblance with it are from our company. Today we got notified the rejection due to the violation of Guideline 4.3 but there is no reference to the other application or even a contact to the other developer. We do use Unity as our game engine, so some parts of the code might be shared across different games, but i cannot find any other justification of the failure. Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam 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.

Hi, Thank you for your feedback regarding our app submission. We understand that the latest version was rejected under Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam. We would like to confirm that our app is unique, combining casual gaming and video chat to deliver an engaging and distinct user experience. This update is critical for ensuring optimal performance on iOS 18 and providing a seamless experience for users who have already upgraded. We hope to resolve this matter fully and avoid encountering similar issues with this guideline in future submissions. We kindly request that the review team re-evaluate our app’s uniqueness and design. Additionally, we would greatly appreciate your assistance in expediting the review process so we can release this important update to our users. If further clarification or additional information is needed, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your understanding and support. Best regards, The Fachat Team

My App Rejected 4.3 Design: Spam What does that mean exactly? I took extra pictures with the phone from the app and upload to APP Store and the same thing over and over again (Guideline 4.3 - Design - Spam) just the question Why don't you want to unlock it? what is spam? The APP Or the pictures? If the APP is spam why? That means One user cannot create two different websites with Various APP An e.g. I have a social network I want to do then a dating site On the dating app I only get a message saying it's spam Funny what's in an APP is spam? Because dating app? Or can a user not make multiple page APPs because it almost looks like this? Then that means BMW can't make new BMWs because the new BWM also has 4 doors and 4 wheels or how should I understand that? which is still funny on Google Play the same APP is not spam

Hello, I would like to know, in case you received a rejection for SPAM 4.3 because there are similar apps on the app store if asking for the app to be released unlisted would solve the problem, as it would not be listed in the app store and would not cause confusion to users. Also the app in question is quite a niche app and it would be enough to distribute it via a link from our website. The app is free. Thank you.

I am new in iOS developing world and I created my first app, which is a planner and time management tools. I tried to publish and my app was rejected because: 4. 3 Design: Spam Guideline 4.3 - Design. I am confused. What should I do?

Earlier I had about 20 similar travel apps. All of them received a rejection for the reason of Guideline 4.3 - Design Spam. Later, according to Apple recommendations, I have combined all similar apps into the one container app.Now, when I try to publish any new apps or updates I get the same rejection (Guideline 4.3 - Design). It looks like an automatic rejection for everything that I try to upload. I have to constantly ask for a re-check. After the moderator team re-checks the app, the app is passed successfully without any rejection.Last time I tried to publish stickers app. This app is based on a Sticker Pack App template in Xcode and has unique and exclusive stickers for iMessage. And this app gets the same rejection. I'm sure that after my request this stickers app will pass successfully. But I do not understand why I have to ask for a re-check every time.New apps and updates still get wrong rejection after I fixed everything that Apple requested (combined all similar apps into the one

Our team members are so upset and exhuasted about the guideline 4.3. We have spent 60 days on the app submission but still get no luck to be approved and no black and white instruction to improve. We post here for intelligent solution.This is our situation -We are developing an IOT project ( a digital photo frame ), the end-products of this project is: a digital photo frame and the APP.The APP is simply a photo/video transmission tool which transmit the media on the phone to users' digital photo frame.Here comes the issue:1. We have our own branding digital photo frames products and our own app on the market.2. We are also the OEM of other digital photo frames products which have different brands from us. Our clients need the full solution - their own branding app which have very similar functions with our own branding app( this breaches the annoying and irrational guideline 4.3)What we have done:1. Completely new design of home page / splashscreen / app icon / app description / app name.2.

apple Rejected my app , And send me this letter :Guideline 4.3 - Design - SpamWe noticed that your app provides the same feature set as many of the other apps you've submitted to the App Store; it simply varies in content or language, which is considered a form of spam.The following apps were found to provide different content but are identical in functionality:drift starsNext StepsWhen creating multiple apps where content is the only varying element, you should offer a single app to deliver differing content to customers. Alternatively, you may consider creating a web app, which looks and behaves similar to a native app when the customer adds it to their Home screen.
