“4.3”

Thank you for your post. There are several factors that may contribute to an app not following App Review Guideline 4.3.

Guys, if you have enough resources there's still another way: you could create separate account for each of your apps (would work fine for white label and similar business models).I've tried that way and also got 4.3 rejection, so our aim now is to figure out how apple's review algorithms find identical or similar apps and how we could pass through it. We should find a way to confuse/obfuscate code and app's structure, so the bot can't identify copies.If there's no fair review, we should find our own way to make it fair. I understand that this method would help those who just spam on AppStore, but at least that'll attract apple's attention to our problem and problem in its algorithm

One can easily understand your deception and appreciate your calm. But to move forward, you have to analyse precisely the situation, from a reviewer perspective. Which were the causes of the 3 rejections you mentioned in a previous post ? Was it Guideline 4.3(b) each time ? What category of app is it ? Is it in a crowded category ? If so, it may be difficult to pass after a first rejection. Certain kinds of apps, such as dating, flashlight, sound effects, wallpaper, simple timers, and fortune telling, are well established on the App Store and we will not accept new submissions unless they offer a meaningfully different or improved experience. What did you change to resubmit ? Did you explain those changes in the notes to reviewer (that usually helps).

Which guideline do they keep citing? That decides the fix. Two things that break this loop: (1) reply in the Resolution Center with a numbered list, each line quoting the reviewer’s sentence, then exactly what changed and where to see it in the build, plus a screen recording. Reviewers rotate, and the next one needs the whole history in one place. (2) If it’s 4.2 or 4.3, the problem is usually what the app looks like in the first minute and in the screenshots, not the code; show the difference rather than claim it. Paste the exact rejection text and I’ll map it to concrete changes, free. No promise of approval.

We too have been caught by this. The robotic response and complete lack of any deeper insight is most frustrating. We even received a 4.3 rejection for an app which is brand-new and has NEVER been published before. Despite asking for clarification, we simply received the cut and paste answer. We are a small company, my customers don't want to aggregate their content, neither will they sign up for a devloper account on their own (which I read from others actually makes little difference in any case) as they can't agree to be bound by conditions over which they have no control. We are the developers, it is natural for us to work in this world, our clients don't want the hassle or lack the expertise and that is why they pay us to do the work. It's like the world has gone mad!

UPDATE: Hey everyone, We’ve been pushing hard to make our app stand out, and we just rolled out some crazy new features, including: Apple Watch Companion App – Expanding stats to your wrist AI-Powered Gender Insights – A feature no other app offers Incognito Mode – For a more private experience That’s two features no other app has, yet we’re still being rejected under 4.3 Spam, even after making major updates. We originally passed after making compliance fixes, but now, despite these new unique features, we’re facing rejection again. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on appealing effectively?

We are going through a same problem. We have spent about 1 year in developing our multiplayer card game. All the code is written from scratch by our team in unity. For design, we purchased some of the assets pack from unity asset store and we do have the licence to use them. We were very happy with the quality of our game and when we received this weird message (Guideline 4.3 - Design) from the App Store review team, all of us are in shock. So, is our hard work going in vain because we really can't change anything in our game and if we change anything, we will see bugs in our game and it becomes very hard to handle online games. We are feeling very helpless and our team are not able to work since we received this message. Please, if anyone can help us, that will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
