Reply to Apple is preventing us from updating our app
Hi, Unfortunately, I am still facing the same issue. The latest versions have been rejected multiple times under 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.” I’ve carefully reviewed this feedback and made significant updates after each rejection, including adding new features, improving the UI/UX, rebranding, and introducing localization for more languages. Despite these efforts, the app continues to be rejected for the same reason. Here’s a summary of the key changes I’ve made so far: • Added ~10 unique new features • Completely revamped the UI/UX • Introduced new languages (localization) • Implemented TipKit • Rebranded the entire app • Improved security • Added entirely new modes The latest version of the app is vastly diffe

About Guideline 4.2.6
In Guideline 4.2.6.Apps created from a commercialized template or app generation service will be rejected unless they are submitted directly by the provider of the app’s content. These services should not submit apps on behalf of their clients and should offer tools that let their clients create customized, innovative apps that provide unique customer experiences.This Guideline is very similar to Guideline 4.3.How to comply with Guideline 4.2.6 without violating Guideline 4.3?Is it possible to just use the tool to create an similar app and submit it using the client's developer account?Is there an impact if the customer's developer account is an individual developer account and not an enterprise developer account?

Reply to 4.3 Design Guidelines - Apple please reconsider how this is enforced.
I feel it is less about what differences are inside the application, and more about Apple wanting to reduce the clutter in the Appstore.I am all for reducing the number of junk apps, clones, flappy games, and spam, but to outright tell all developers that they have to combine several games into a container app, some of which just don't belong together is overstretching this guideline.Apple needs to soften up the 4.3 guidelines, and allow developers to continue to publish apps that are branded toward the specific target market. eg: diet apps should not be combined. I as a customer would not want to download an app with multiple varying diets when I'm only looking for one specific one.Same with travel apps - if I want an app that caters to Paris traveling, I do not want NYC, Rome, London, Milan, & other cities in a bundle.The idea behind the agreement is well intended, but it's taken too far, without consideration for marketing & other things that come into play with the Appstore.So the topic i

Reply to My App Rejected 4.3 Design: Spam
We have been developing a new app for scanning documents and photos for six months. This app has many unique features that other apps don't have. The app automatically detects holes on the documents that have been punched with a hole punch and removes them from the document. The corners of the detected document are automatically moved inwards to get clean edges, the user can set how many pixels to indented. This app recognises the text very accurately and inserts it into the PDF document behind the image at the exact position and text size as the text on the image. The PDF generated by the app can be searched for text and the text can be marked and copied. Another important feature that no other app in the App Store offers is the function that all four corners of the document are shown enlarged in four circles and are visible at the same time. The user can see immediately if the corners have been recognized satisfactorily or if they should be corrected. The user can move the corners either on the document or

App Review
HI Team! I had submitted an update for my game which was already live. I didn’t change any designs in the game, I just removed the bugs and added a 'Rate Us' button link. Still, my game is being flagged at 4.3, even though it was previously live and running fine on the app store.

Publishing similar apps
Hi everyone, I’m looking for clarification regarding App Store Review Guideline 4.3 (Spam) and how it applies to unlisted apps. The guideline mentions that “Apps that are duplicates of others, or that spam the App Store with similar content, may be removed from the App Store or from the Apple Developer Program.” In my case, I’m considering distributing several unlisted apps that share a similar codebase but are customized for different clients (for example, with distinct branding and configurations). These apps would not be searchable or publicly listed on the App Store — they would only be accessible through direct links. Could anyone confirm whether Guideline 4.3 still applies to unlisted apps in the same way it does to publicly listed apps? If not, what is the recommended approach for distributing such client-specific builds while remaining compliant with Apple’s policies? Thanks in advance for any clarification.

How to publish new dating app?
Hello, I've developed a dating app and published it on Google Play Store without any problem. I tried to publish it on Apple App Store. But it was rejected because of Guideline 4.3 - Design - Spam reason. I changed some design elements, added some new features and tried to publish it to Test Flight, so my friends with iPhone can test and send feedback to me. But my app was rejected again on Test Flight too with same reason. I guess all new dating apps are being rejected with Guideline 4.3 - Design - Spam reason. I saw a lot of posts about dating apps rejected with same reason. In fact dating app that I developed is for a small group of people and there are (as far as I count) only 5 more dating apps in App Store for same small group of people. My dating app would be the 6th of them, if it was published. I think 6 apps for same group of people should not be too much. So my question is what should I do next? What should I do to be able to pass Guideline 4.3 - Design - Spam and publish
