Reply to Why Doesnt this Wrap Correctly?
I could not get it wrapping at the right place. It looks like SwiftUI wraps to balance as much as possible to have same length text on both lines.

Reply to App Review rejected due to Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam App Store Distribution & Marketing
Thanks Jay_limbani for this topic, I'm facing this issue as well. Let me borrow your topic to ask Apple App Review Team to assit me, hope you don't mind. Appreciate and thank you. Submission ID : c845d491-a9e6-46b2-81d1-acb659cf55c6 Dear App Review Team, I hope this message finds you well. Harmonian is not just another app; it’s a heartfelt effort to create a platform where individuals facing life’s challenges can find support, guidance, and hope. It is a unique, ad-free space focused on fostering mental well-being, empathy, and positive engagement—unlike entertainment-driven or generic platforms. Our mission is to make a meaningful difference by helping people connect, share, and uplift one another in a safe and harmonious environment. I understand your concerns under Guideline 4.3(a) regarding similarities with other apps. While certain features may seem familiar, I assure you that Harmonian is fundamentally different in its purpose, execution, and user experience. It is built with a focus on pers

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 multiple times rejected - 4.3.0 Design: Spam
Hello everyone, I’m looking for some advice or shared experiences regarding an app rejection under App Store Review Guideline 4.3(b) – Design – Spam. Our app was rejected and, after an appeal to the App Review Board, Apple maintained that the app “duplicates the content and functionality of similar apps in a saturated category.” We strongly disagree with this classification and are struggling to understand how Guideline 4.3(b) has been applied in our case. The app was developed as an original product: Custom-designed content (including original cards and interactions) A unique visual style and UI A distinct interaction flow focused on encouraging social interaction between users This was not a template-based or reskinned app, nor is it part of a series of similar submissions. We fully respect the App Store Review Guidelines and are open to making adjustments to better align with them. However, what we find difficult is the lack of specific, actionable feedback. We have not received clear gui

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.

Binary Rejection:
4.3 Spam allegation between early version FREE, Open Source API beta apps and latest version of the PAID app which has contractual PAID API incorporated along with In-App Purchase options. The Reviewers are not accounting for the difference between the free open source API and the paid licensed API. What to do to convince them?
