Reply to Any idea when sticker pack submissions to the app store will be available?
Currently UNABLE to submit Stand Alone Sticker Packs created using the Xcode Template, due to the fact that creating an App ID ENABLES both Game Center and In-App Purchases, converting the underlying framework of the code-free Sticker Pack to that of an iMessage App. No way to edit and disable theses Features withing the App ID to submit a Stand Alone Sticker Pack intended ONLY for the iMessages App Store.This creates two problems:1. Unable to access the Archived/uploaded Build WITHOUT also uploading screenshots for the 'Optional iMessages in prepping the Sticker Pack for App Review2. Submitting more than one Sticker Pack App Review judges the app (Sticker Pack now converted to iMessages App via App ID Features ENABLED) on the basis of the underlying framework with Features instead of looking only at the appropriateness of the content (i.e. images) of the Sticker Packs. They reject submissions on the Rule 4.3 Design Spam (underlying framework is the same for Sticker Packs generated using the Xcode TE

A Developer’s First App—Unfairly Rejected and Account Terminated
After months of navigating repeated 4.3 guideline rejections, Apple has now terminated my developer account. This was a fresh app—one I worked hard on, designing it from the ground up with unique features. At first, my app was rejected under 4.3, but I complied with Apple's feedback and was approved. Two weeks later, with no major changes, it was suddenly rejected again for the same reason. I provided proof that this wasn’t a duplicate or spam app—sharing my GitHub repository, design iterations, and direct communication with designers. Still, my account was terminated. I’ve reached out for clarification, but the lack of transparency in the review process makes it difficult to understand what went wrong. This was my first app under this account, and I paid the $99 developer fee like everyone else. I just want a fair review. If there’s a way to appeal this, I’d be grateful for a second look.

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.

Why are normal version iterations consistently rejected
After successfully passing the review for version 1.0, I was consistently rejected after updating to version 1.0.1 with 4.3 (a). However, I only added some paid products to the original features, and did not make any changes to the layout or UI design. Why do you keep rejecting me. Multiline BlockQuote hello, Thank you for your message. Regarding Guideline 4.3（a）, we continue to notice that your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences. Some factors that contribute to a spam rejection may include: Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts We hope that you will make the appropriate changes to your app to bring it into compliance with the

Swift Playgrounds release v4.3
Hello, I believe yesterday Apple released the following: v4.3 Apr 3, 2023 Swift Playgrounds 4.3 includes Swift 5.8, the iOS 16.4 SDK, along with other features and bug fixes. Sound Pad shows you how to build your own digital musical instrument Norwegian and Vietnamese language support --- My question is will the app projects now be tested on this latest release? As this is now the only release I have access to on my devices. The terms say that 'Your app playground must be built with and run on Swift Playgrounds 4.2.1 or later' so I assume later means that they will now be judged in 4.3? The update actually caused my previous submission of the app project to crash on launch due to the following line: For some reason this character change fixes the issue: I also updated this for the other instance of Double.random in my code even though it wasn't erroring out. I've already withdrawn and resubmit my entry with the change.

AppStore Review: Is there any way to get to another reviewer?
Is there a way to resubmit an iOS app for review so that it will be verified by another Apple employee?Apple rejects our app for the third time because of spam (point 4.3 of AppStore Review Guidelines), but we don't agree with that. Our app has a lot of features that similar apps don't have. We want to get some additional information about the reason, but Apple always sends us a sample answer without any details.

Multiple Bundle IDs for the same app for Apple Business Manager Distribution
Our app is solely a Business to Business app. We have some client requirements for installing the test and production version of the app on the same device at the same time. What we would like to do is distribute the same app with different bundle ids. eg com.ourbundleid.appname com.ourbundleid.appname.test I know the guidelines specify to not do this under the 4.3 Spam section but this is a specific request from a number of our clients to have a duplicate version, given that its B2B is there a possibility for exemption for B2B apps? Thanks

WatchOS Complications for App Launch Only
I have read the disconnected documentation for adding a simple complication that ONLY launches my app using the asset images I've created in various sizes for various families along with the ComplicationController code, but the complications never appear (with no errors). I would like to support Watch Series 1 with OS 4.3 on up. There never seems to be one place where this simple, default function is documented. What are the steps and code required to just launch a Watch app from a complication?

Rejected for Guideline 4.3a - Spam
Hello, I am a solo indie game developer with more than 20 years of experience. I have been publishing games on App Store more than 10 years. My recent game PinPoint Master has been rejected under Guideline 4.3 for Spam. I believe this is a huge mistake because the concept, gameplay and game code is unique. There is not even a similar game on the App Store. I realized there are many complaints about this 4.3 Spam rejection. There many developers are getting rejected for spam in recent days. This indicates a possible flaw in the review system. I submitted appeal two times but no response. I was about to close a publisher deal for this game. They have been testing two weeks and decided to sign after App Store release. But his issue caused a big loss for me. Here is the YouTube video of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBQrSon0YJw I really need this error fixed ASAP. Thanks.

Multicolor complication icon is white
I'm trying to display a color icon as a complication when Multicolor setting is set (Utility, Modular, Extra Large, Siri screens).I have a 2 color PNG icon with alpha channel and some semitransparent elements. However, my icon is always displayed as white.I do NOT set tint for `CLKImageProvider`.From Apple's app and some 3rd party (e.g. Carrot Weather), I can see that it is possible. Who do I miss?Testing on watchOS 4.3 simulator.
