Reply to Guideline 4.3 -- made from template... but they are not.
The guy who made a phone call said that my account is flagged as a spammer.I'm making apps since 2009.He said these things made me a spammer.releasing upgraded version as a separate app without removing the previous version.releasing free version and paid version (aka PRO version) as separate apps. ... this used to be allowed, but not anymore. Developers must use in-app purchase.Spam does not necessariy mean releasing many apps that were made from a single template. If the functionalities of two or more apps are very similar even though they have been built from scratch separately (like making an upgraded version from scratch), they become spams.And the similarity is decided by Apple, not by actual users who actually use the apps. This decision is mainly made by their appearances such as icon, UI, etc. They often refer to these elements as framework. Thus, when they say your apps share the same framework, it does not mean the apps use the same template framework. It simply means, they look too similar.Once yo

Reply to Guideline 4.3 -- made from template... but they are not.
I got another phone call from Apple.• My account is flagged as a spammer. (It's sad)• The original rejection reason 4.3 is nothing to do with the quality of the app itself. It's based on the spammer flag that is added to my account.• I have to appeal to the review board when I got rejected.• App Review Board originally maintained the rejection, but they have changed their decision last week. They will approve AB Player as an independent app.• That decision hasn't gone through to the reviwer yet. That's why I got rejected yesterday again and I got another copy&paste reply from the reviewer a few hours before the phone call.The above was the fact heard from Apple.The reviewer (who reviews apps on firsthand) thinks I'm a spammer so he doesn't think anything, just copy & paste Guideline 4.3 rejection.That's why he can't tell any particular rejection reason and he doesn't reply anything other than copy&paste message. (Don't waste your time by trying to communicate with the reviewer.)

Guideline 4.3 -- made from template... but they are not.
I have an app called AB Player, which is a music player that can play back user's iTunes library with speed control and A-B repeat.■　AB Player ... View on App StoreThis app was rejected becasue it violates Guideline 4.3 (Spam).I have appealed to the review board. They decided to maintaint the rejection and they told me that AB-Player app is made on the same template as many of other my apps like eLaws■　eLaws ... View on App StoreeLaws is a (sort of) law dictionary app. Users can download Japanese laws from the government website and browse locally.AB Player and eLaws are completely different apps.They are not made from a same template. They may be made from Xcode's Single view app template but that's all.I explained to them but they didn't change mind. And they didn't disclose the exact reason why they think they are made on the same template.AB Player and eLaws both use Realm Swift database frameworks and Google Mobile Ads framework, as well as UIKit, CoreText etc, but I don't think that's an issue.

AW 3 Battery
I have an Apple Watch 3 running 4.3 (15T5212a) and I have noticed the battery draining a lot quicker than normal. Usually, I can get at least 2 full days without charging it. I am not extensively using the Watch. Yes, I am aware that beta versions are not stable releases and there are hidden bugs. I may wait to install watchOS 4.3.1 or I may not wait.

Published Watch App install fails with empty error
I recently updated my application with embedded Watch app. Some users reported that the application does not install on their watch. Mine was ok. I had to completely remove iPhone application to reinstall it and reproduce the problem. iPhone is on 11.3 Watch on 4.3. One user report the problem while his iPhone is not yet upgraded to 11.3.My application have accented character in its name but it has been there for years.The tricky point is that the error message on the console gives no indication at all :11:45:55.331887 +0200 appconduitd 0x16bdcb000 -[ACXServerInstallOperation receivedDictionaryOrData:]: 591: Got error 17 in install done from remote side (MI error (null) ; Extended 0x0 ; Desc (null)) 11:45:55.332599 +0200 appconduitd 0x16bdcb000 -[ACXServerInstallOperation receivedDictionaryOrData:]: com.iphigenie.3.10: Got install done 11:45:55.333436 +0200 appconduitd 0x16bdcb000 -[ACXServerInstallOperation _onQueue_callCompletion:]: Resetting socket because of error Error Domain=ACXErrorDomain Code

Reply to 4.3 Design Guidelines - Apple please reconsider how this is enforced.
We got another app rejected because the app is not compliant with Guideline 4.3View on App StoreThis app displays waveforms of a sound file (typically spoken words), enables users to clip a certain area, make a sound clip playlists, convert it to MP3 using LameMP3 library, etc.We don't have any similar apps. We believe the store is not saturated with similar apps. The standard of the guideline 4.3 is getting very strict recently.

Reply to ERROR ITMS-90596: "Invalid Bundle. The asset catalog at 'Payload/MyABQ.app/Assets.car' can't be read. Try rebuilding the app with a non-beta version of Xcode and submit it again.
Sorry, I am using the very latest, xcode 9.3 beta 4From the Testflight page saying my version should work:Apps built with Xcode 9.3 beta 4 using the SDK for iOS 11.3 beta 4, tvOS 11.3 beta 4, and watchOS 4.3 beta 4 are now supported.I have a partial answer. The person submitting the app bundle wasn't using Xcode 9.3 beta 4 to launch ApplicationLauncher. When I do that now I get: No suitable application records were found. Verify your bundle identifier 'com.appcitylife.myabq-1' is correct.My bundle identifier is correct.And here is the answer to this problem: sign into the correct iTunesConnect account that has your app's bundle identifier already set up.So, no more problems today.

4.2.6 and 4.3 (again) and Enrolling Process
We have all noticed the big changes Apple has brought with the implementation of the 4.2.6 and 4.3 rules of ASRGs While I believe there is still a lot of stuff to be discussed, I would like to start a discussion regaarding the Enrolling process to Apple's Programs, the complexity of it and the problems it brings to non-technical, small businesses.Apple has decided more or less that it would benefit from having most apps from small businesses to have their own Developer Account and be enrolled to it's Apple programs. This is ok, it's a business decision, they believe that the cost for quality apps and reviews is too high and they found this way to overcome the issue.The real problem though, in my opinion is the difficulty of enrolling to their developer programs, the time it needs to, and the maintainance thereafter. Like many other businesses, we run a software house which built an advanced online ordering system for restaurants. We spent about 4 years in developing our platform and we strongly belie

App Development with Swift Book - stuck at unit 4.3
Dear all,I am trying to learn how to code with Swift, I really want to and, to start, I completed the Intro to App Development with Swift. So far, so good ...I then passed to the App Development with Swift book as it was supposed to be a step up (at least in difficulty). I completed the first 3 units and started the 4th a few days ago.I am now stuck at unit 4.3 (Model View Controller) during the Lab at the end of the unit. No matter what I write (even if I try to copy exactly what is in the 'solution' project) I keep getting an error when trying to create Outlet(s) from the main.storyboard's text fields to the AthleteFormViewController.swift file. This error says: Could not insert new outlet connection: Could not find any information for the class named AthleteFormViewController (all of this in red color). This is the second consecutive exercise that I would have to abandon because following the EXACT instructions given in the book puts me into a dead end. Then I confront with the solutions, try them

App description / country
Hi,My following question contains two parts: My source code organization & the countries description with my issue.1. Source code organizationI am actually working on an application for eleven countries. All these countries have the same source code but not the same functionalities. Indeed, some features are only available for some countries (feature flag).2. Countries description on iTunes ConnectOn iTunes Connect and for an app version, some countries aren't available (example: Poland). What're the best practices to describe a functionality in its own language and that'is only available for this country(feature flag)? I would like to conserve one source code and one app on the app store without making different apps (1 per country) in order to avoid the section 4.3 (Spam) from the reviews guidelines.Thank you in advance.
