“4.3”

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.

I have the same problem. I made a game, uploaded it, and passed the moderation. Then, when updating to a new version, after adding in-app purchases using RevenueCat, I received a rejection. Guideline 4.3 - Design 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. The game is also written in Flutter. Could that be the issue? Any ideas on what to do? I've already rewritten it from scratch twice, with entirely different code.

Apple reviewers are just taking the 4.3 guideline out of context these days.Your Church app(s) is a perfect example of how this guideline fails.Main thing is the searchability. Each country, each state, each city probably has multiple churches, one person who goes to, say, Michigan state , Midland Pentecostal Church would probably simply search michigan church on the app store.But if all church apps in the country is under one app he / she will get no search results since the developer just can't fit all the states in the keywords...

Read the guidelines. Spam may be because your app falls into an overcrowded category without enough innovative features. Dating apps are just such a category. 4.3 Spam (b) Also avoid piling on to a category that is already saturated; the App Store has enough fart, burp, flashlight, fortune telling, dating, drinking games, and Kama Sutra apps, etc. already. We will reject these apps unless they provide a unique, high-quality experience. Spamming the store may lead to your removal from the Apple Developer Program. So, the only thing you can do is to add comments to reviewer explaining how your app provides this unique experience.

4.2.6 is the important one: it means the reviewer believes the app came from a template or app-generation service and wasn’t submitted by the owner of the content. Since the courses are yours, say that explicitly in the Resolution Center reply: name yourself as the provider of the content, say which tool built the app, and link to the academy so they can verify you operate it. For the 4.3 part, make it visibly different from generic course-player apps: your own branding, screenshots of your actual courses, and two sentences in Notes for Review on what is unique. If you paste Apple’s exact message, I’ll map it line by line, free. No promise of approval.
