“4.3”

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!

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

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!

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.

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

Hi, Our business has recently been dealing with getting our app rejected for 4.3 Design Spam. I've sent an appeal and sent a follow up as we weren't hearing back. For context, we've been getting this as our rejection w.o any specific reasons for us to address. We've been in the app store over 3 years and have been compliant throughout and to suddenly get this while trying to push new content, fixes, and updates to our new users has put a hindrance to our business. All our code and designs were build in house (and or used from open source sdks) and we have mechanics that are unique to our app. We want to continue to be compliant, but to just be left in the dark isn't exactly productive of both of our times. Thank You

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 .....

The FxRemoteWindow API in Fxplug 4.3 does not provide window.frame.origin. How to set a window that can be positioned and sized higher than the motion?

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.

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,I am new to the iOS development, using C++ on Mac OS X some years.I like to develop apps using objective-c starting from my old X-Code on Snow Leopard (iOS 4.3). Is that forward compatible up to iOS 7+ and can I depoy such an application?I like to test my apps with my iPhone 4S having an iOS 5 installed. Will be using Snow Leopard for this (latest X-Code version there) possible?I have an external usb drive with an updated OS X (Marvericks). This will be my last resort, if I do not have any chance to use my Snow Leopard targeting iOS 4.3+ as a first start.Thanks for any help,Lothar

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.
