4.3

I said this enhancement report on apple bug Reporter site. Now is closed.why you not see that issue?👿😠Reopen, my report plsss.What missing? very much!!Sample?3rd api (then the developer add more functions for iOS wifi hotspot e.g create wifi hotspot without mobile data)iOS wifi hotspot is always in background (even if no device is connected. even if you leave the menu) + time out option- Why? If other iOS device connect to iOS wifi hotspot, and other iOS device go to standby mode (~1min iPhone and ~1-3min iPad or more) then automatically disconnects from the hotspot (designed first iOS - iOS 10 beta 2)Then wifi hotspot is off. what now? Open settings from iOS wifi hotspot, now hotspot is available again. This is not good!! See my report again!!Again!! This missing!!Since first iOS - iOS 10 beta 2 has not the function in wifi settings: wifi never turn off in standby modeSince iOS 4.3 - iOS 10 beta 2 (iOS wifi hotspot) on a better design and user-friendly concept!!

I recently submitted an app to the App Store which was rejected as spam (Section 4.3). After speaking to an Apple rep, I learned the reason. The app is based on a propietary cross-platform engine which I have been developing for several years. We are not using any third-party software or 'app templates'. A couple of years ago my son and I collaborated on another project - I did the coding using the same engine, but he did the design and content creation. He published it under his own developer account. We worked together on the new app as well. They are both educational apps. The older one is used for learning algebra, and the new one for memorising language vocabulary. They do not look the same and have completely different content. But App's search engines have detected commonality in the code, because much of the underlying engine is the same, and because we are using different developer accounts, has rejected the latest as spam. I wondered if anyone else had encountered this kind of issue, and if

Hi everyone, My iOS app MaxTutor has been repeatedly rejected under Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam. Since I developed the app entirely from scratch, and its concept is unique (blending modern AI technology with traditional parental involvement in child’s learning), I’m clueless about what might have triggered the rejection. The only theory I can come up with is that the bundle identifier contains a substring that matches the name of an existing app in the store, but the apps themselves are entirely unrelated in both functionality and design. I was going to change it but that complicated things as I have a macOs version of the app already accepted and using the same bundle id. I’ve responded to the reviewer multiple times seeking clarification, but have never received any feedbacks at all. I’ve also resubmitted the app several times with new features but got rejected for the same reason with identical comments. I finally filed an appeal a week ago but still I haven’t heard anything back yet. Interes

Since April 1, 2022, the App Review Team and App Review Board have been consistently rejecting my app, the reason being, Guideline 4.3 - Design We continue to find that your app provides the same feature set as other apps submitted to the App Store; it simply varies in content or language, which is considered a form of spam. This is 100% false because my app has unique features not found on other apps on the App Store. The strange part is the supposedly similar apps don't even offer the features that my app offers yet those apps are able to get their app submissions approved. I should also mention those apps were published after mine. I have provided screenshots, video demos, source code, spoken to App Review team and they are still rejecting the app because of 4.3.0. It appears they are overlooking the information I've been providing and responding with generic responses. Should I file a complaint with the BBB? It's evident that selective bias and unfair treatment is happening with the App Review Te

Our app serial, TaxFreeway, is a Canadian T1 tax return preparing app approved by Canada Revenue Agency. There is a new app release each year for the corresponding year's tax return. We have more than 10 existing Apps (for every previous years) listed on App Store. The App for tax year 2021, TaxFreeway 2021, is listed at Canada government website below. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/e-services-individuals/netfile-overview/certified-software-netfile-program/detailed-information-taxfreeway.html Apple App Store has accepted the App since December 2021. We recently send a new app update to Apple App Store based on Canada Revenue Agency's latest requirements. The update is rejected by App Store review by following reason: Thank you for your resubmission. However, upon further review, we found that your app is out of compliance with the following guideline(s): Guideline 4.3 - Design We noticed that your app provides the same feature set as other apps submitted to the App Store

I'm seeking advice regarding an App Store review situation. Here's the context: We previously had an inventory management app on the App Store that had significant technical issues and bugs Instead of updating the old version, we made the decision to: Completely rebuild the app from scratch with improved architecture Use a new tech stack for better stability Submit under a new developer account for a fresh start The review team has flagged this as a violation of Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam, citing duplication of content and functionality. Key Details: We are the original creators of both versions The previous version was removed due to technical issues The new version is a complete rebuild, not just a repackaging We maintained similar branding as it's our own product Questions for the community: Has anyone successfully handled a similar situation of rebuilding and resubmitting their own app? What approaches worked for distinguishing the new version from the previous one? Are there specific techn

Hello everyone, I'm seeking some advice and perspective from the community regarding an appeal I've submitted to the App Review Board. My app, (App ID: 6748638280), was recently rejected under Guideline 4.3 - Spam. We believe this was a misunderstanding, as our app is a highly specialized academic tool for the study of Qimen Dunjia (奇門遁甲), a complex form of ancient Chinese metaphysics. It is a professional calculation engine, not a generic fortune-telling app. We submitted a detailed appeal to the App Review Board two weeks ago, explaining the unique, academic nature of our app and providing a link to a demo video that showcases its innovative features (like its real-world compass integration and its unique data visualization system). As of today, we have not yet received a response. I completely understand that the review process takes time, and I want to be respectful of the board's workload. However, I'm starting to wonder if this length of time without a reply is normal for an appeal. I would be

So I've got a lot of apps that have been consolidated into a container app. Like many of you, I got the 4.3 messages. After some grimacing, I can see the silver lining - for devs, for users, for Apple. But I really wish iTunes Connect would add a forwarding option in our Removed from Sale apps that redirects to the container app. I added a bug-report (feature request) for this already, but I'm hoping more devs ask for this. Reasoning...1. There's gotta be millions of dead app store links already floating around the internet. Why have those links go to this message This app is no longer available in your country's store, when it can just jump to a live app? We can update our own websites, but some blogger that wrote about an app 3 years ago, isn't going to update their links. 2. Its also a dead end for actual App Store users going through their old Purchases. Doesn't need to be. Let us recapture those users. 3. Consolidation was / will be a big ask for many of us. And like I said, I can see the benefi

Hi, unfortunaley my app was rejected the 2nd time with a reference to Guideline 4.3 - Design - Spam with the explanation We found in our review that your app is primarily a drinking game app. Since there are many drinking game apps already on the App Store, your app duplicates their content and functionality. This is considered a form of spam. In principle the reviewer is right, my app is mainly a drinking game app. I added another play mode after the first rejection but the app remains as a card game / drinking game app. Now I want to prevent the situation that I work many more hours on this app implementing additional features and getting rejected again and again. Does anybody of you have experience with those kinds of rejections? I mean there is enough of almost any kind of app in the App Store; often apps have just slight differences in design or functionality between each other and did get the approval. I thought offering an app (of course having similarities to existing ones but nothing was cop

Apple give a reason to reject my app because it's spam. I don't understand that it's from the functional or UI. This app have the functionals similar the existing app in the apple store but I've added the new feature already.For UI, I design all new UI for this app too. That's the reason why I don't understand the apple purpose. This's my first app too.Please help me to advise about this issue. Guideline 4.3 - DesignYour app duplicates the content and functionality of apps currently available on the App Store. Apps that simply duplicate content or functionality create clutter, diminish the overall experience for the end user, and reduce the ability of developers to market their apps.Next StepsWe encourage you to review your app concept and incorporate different content and features that are in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.For app design information, check out the following videos: Best Practices for Great iOS UI Design and Designing Intuitive User Experiences, available on the Appl

Hello, My app was rejected because of App Review Guideline 4.3 – Design Spam. The response I received states: “We noticed your app shares similar features, interface design, and functionality with other apps available on the App Store. Apps that duplicate content or functionality from other apps without adding significant value or unique user experiences are considered spam and will not be approved for distribution.” I developed Plinking Platform Rise, a reaction and accuracy game where players control a platform to balance a ball while avoiding obstacles. The game becomes more challenging with each level, and a dark mode adds an exciting element by reducing visibility and requiring greater precision. I’ve tried multiple times to understand the exact reasons for this rejection and made several updates to address potential issues, but all my efforts have been ignored by App Review. None of the changes I implemented led to a resolution. This is the first app I’ve submitted to the App Store, and I devel

Our app is being rejected and i have reasons to believe it isn't properly reviewed. My app/ game has Features: Create your own Sharki Stickers with our Unique Sharki Generator, A page dedicated to Raise Awareness to help save Sharks, The core of the game is to be educational Also one part of the app is a mini game (it is flappy like on surface which i think is the main reason for rejection, but we have so much more than that, and without proper review the content of the game fails to shine.) its a game where you have to prevent the shark from falling while avoiding obstacles ,(its not a tap on the screen and it moves, you have to follow the sharks movement and prevent it to fall) and you get educational content with different shark facts and trivias by playing. Play Different types of Sharks like Mecha Shark, Astronaut Shark and more, experience different type of gameplay and mechanics as the game progress and there are alot of levels, playables, unlockables and contents that are unique , distinct and exclusi
