“4.3”

With opening the latest Xcode 6 (6.4), you'll see you can set the deployment target back to 4.3.As the deployment target is the minimum supported iOS version, your app needs to run on all iOS versions including both 32-bit and 64-bit if available,and needs to run on all models of iPhone/iPod touch/iPad which work with any of the versions you specified.And to test your app, Xcode 6 does not provide simulators of older versions, you need actual devices.

I am seeing the same behavior as well (Card Unavailable - Try again in a few moments). Have tried the following things but none did not resolve the issue:Restart Watch and iPhoneRemove credit cards and re-addReset the watchSign out of iCloud on iPhone and restart iPhone and Watch and sign-in again (with adding credit cards back to wallet)I have now filed a bug report with apple (#37449485), let's hope it will be fixed in the next Beta. Payments working fine in iPhone X with latest Beta, just not in WatchOS 4.3 Beta 2 with Series 0 watch.

Kardea, was rejected under Guideline 4.3(b) as belonging to a saturated category. Says who!? The reviewer? I doubt it. Which category is not saturated? What would be the most appropriate way to obtain a complete functional review? You don't mention the categories to which you submit your app or application. You don't state the exact words of rejection. There is no software description. There is no list of keywords. You don't mention the development environment, either. It sounds to me that your product has something to do with Tarot card reading. But why would you let those who could assist you make the imagination of their own?

I replied in the review thread with a point-by-point response to each 4.3(a) factor and asked which app mine is believed to resemble You've asked what!? Which app of yours? You've said it's your only app. These days, they let a bot reject your submission a few seconds after they start reviewing it if the category you have chosen is very crowded. They are out of hand. I guess you have to tell them under the App information section how unique your app is, which sounds totally absurd, though, because you have to know how other apps similar to yours work.

The recent 'spam' objections are all directed to the same developer publishing similar versions of the same app for different 'stores' (i.e. multiple apps for different Barber Shops - one for in each town in California). While your app is the same it will hit the App Store from two different developer accounts so the App Store will not apply that recent concern to the two apps. But your app does have similar code so it still violates the 'spam' 4.3 guideline; but does it? Won't the versions be localized differently; one in Chinese the other in English? If so, go for it.

You can still use iOS 7.x as a deployment target in the store, but not w/current tools (Xcode 8.3.2). I'd wonder about doing so, however, as number of users on an iOS that far back is in low single digits.Note that according to iTunes Connect, minimum now for the store is Xcode 6, which supports iOS 4.3 or iOS 5.1.1 minimum deployment, so to reach your goal of supporting older iOSs, you'd need to use older Xcode - restrictions apply, mainly not being able to also support newer iOSs, so...

I completely agree with you. We at Mobifitness make apps for fitness clubs and gyms. There are some companies that do the same and suffer from 4.2.6 and 4.3 as we do. Mindbody, Migymapp, Perfect Gym, Technogym (My Wellness Cloud), Yclients, etc. You can't make a consolidated app while your business model is b2b solutions but not lead generation. We have 200 apps now. Please Apple, take from us $20.000 annually and allow to stay within one account and publish the apps that help customers of gyms to communicate with their managers. Best regards.

Different from what ? Does it mean that at first there was effectively a problem ? By different I meant different from my previous game and other similar games. I only started explaining that after reading advice from other developers who got 4.3. As for the category it’s already games with simulation and racing as the subcategories. I honestly don’t see what else would even make sense. And I don’t really think this niche is that saturated compared to some others. I can only find around 3 real sandbox car crash games that are actually similar, not counting my older game

The established technique is to examine the receipt of the app. It will have a field in it entitled original_application_version. That will indicate the 'Build' number (unfortunately not the Version number!!!) of the app that the user originally purchased. In your 'new' free app you use a different Build number - like 4.1 then 4.2 then 4.3. You use that Build number to separate the paid purchases from the free purchases.(iOS - Build number; for Mac Apps it's the version number)https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/releasenotes/General/ValidateAppStoreReceipt/Chapters/ReceiptFields.htmlhttps://forums.developer.apple.com/message/11915#11915https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/185419#185419

Hi Add me to the list of 4.3 victims. I have a very niche client/server app that has been on the store for nearly 12 (TWELVE) years! (the software consists of 2 apps, the client and the server), so this is just an update, not a new app. There is NOTHING even remotely similar to it as it is a very niche market with a limited userbase. We did an update 2 weeks ago (client) and everything went fine. Of course after updating we noticed a couple minor changes that needed to be made, nothing operational, all cosmetic like a spelling error and limiting the number of ad's shown. Literally changed 5 characters in the source. Submit a new build and now we are in 4.3 spam hell. Of course we keep getting the same canned response from the review team that tells us absolutely nothing. Appealed the rejection last week, and so far, not a peep out of Apple. No calls, no emails no nothing. We also updated the server app, and no problems whatsoever. The 2 apps are totally different, but all i can suspect is po

There are actually apps doing this already, like Mathletics, Raz kids. So each school gives the teachers, students / parents the school login AND the individual login for students.But for some other cases , e.g. the Church example i saw in another thread, 4.3 guideline doesn't make any sense.Religious people would search for their own church on the app store naturally, say Michigan state Pentecostal ABC church or whatever. The problem is if it was under one container app, the religious person would most liklely unable to search for the app since there can only be 100 characters in the keyword field and there is no way to fit all church names in it.

Apple rejected many times.What to do ? Please help me. 4. 3 Design: Spam Guideline 4.3 - Design - Spam Your app primarily features astrology, horoscopes, palm reading, fortune telling or zodiac reports. As such, it duplicates the content and functionality of many other similar apps currently available on the App Store. While these app features may be useful, informative or entertaining, we simply have enough of these types of apps on the App Store, and they are considered a form of spam. Next Steps We encourage you to review your app concept and incorporate different content and features that are in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

Fair point, so here is the full list of what I actually did, for whoever comes next. I cannot tell you which of these worked. I suspect that is by design: if one trick reliably worked, everyone would use it. Posted in this forum. I genuinely hope someone from App Review reads these threads, and I think someone did. On the 2.1 Information Needed, I replied in Resolution Center and attached a demo video recorded on a real device. Fifteen minutes later I got 4.3 instead. On 4.3, I filed an appeal explaining why the app is original: a lot of research went into finding the real problems users have in this category, and the product was built around those. In parallel I changed everything I could suspect: new icon, new colour identity, new screenshots, revised keywords, and resubmitted. I also wrote to Apple through the official contact channels, twice. I doubt it helped, but I cannot rule it out. I requested a call with App Review. Never got a reply from that channel. Which does not mean it did no

The current App Distribution Guide says For example, the lowest available setting for iPad apps is iOS 4.3. ( Setting the Deployment Target ) but my Xcode 7.1.1 doesn't seem to allow any deployment target for an iPhone project to be lower than iOS 6.0. So YMMV I guess. Basically the minimum is whatever the minimum supported Xcode version (Is Xcode 5 still allowed or does the store now require Xcode 6? I don't know) allows in the popup for the project deployment target.One other factor - if you use Swift that limits you to iOS 7.0 and later.

Dating is the hardest 4.3(b) category, and the appeal needs to show the difference, not explain it. Your first screenshot and first screen should make “take a selfie today or you’re invisible” obvious within seconds, so the reviewer sees a different product rather than a dating template with a story attached. Keep the appeal to the structural points you listed, one line each, with a screenshot beside each. Don’t resubmit while the appeal is open; that restarts the queue. No guarantee it changes the outcome, but four identical rejections usually mean the reviewer never saw the difference.
