4.3

Hey everyone, I’m dealing with a frustrating situation and hoping someone here can share insights. My app has been rejected multiple times under Guideline 4.3(a) - Spam, with Apple stating it resembles an app from a terminated Apple Developer account. Here’s the context: A month ago, my teammate purchased an Apple Developer account from a 3rd party. Then after the app was submitted, we got rejection after that, a couple of hours later. The old account was terminated. The termination notice cited Section 3.2(f) of the ADP Agreement, mentioning commit any act intended to interfere with any of the Apple Software or Services, the intent of this Agreement, or Apple’s business practices including, but not limited to, taking actions that may hinder the performance or intended use of the App Store, Custom App Distribution, TestFlight, Xcode Cloud, Ad Hoc distribution, or the Program…. This old account was purchased from a suspicious source, which may be why it was terminated and you can imagine my relationsh

I ran dating app a few years ago, and found some bugs but couldn't fix them because of no developer at that time. So, I had to stop from sale. Now I'm trying to upload after fixing bugs for review. then, Will my app be supposed to be rejected for review guideline 4.3 Spam?

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

Regarding 4.1, I deleted the ranking and text of the title according to your instructions and submitted it. It turned into 4.3(a) spam. How should I deal with it? Why did it become 4.3?

I am having a problem where I am trying to run an app on my new iPhone SE in Xcode and when I select the device, Xcode immediately crashes every time.I tried doing the steps detailed in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O_8HAsz_gU(creating a certificate, I actually have 3 from trying 3 times, creating an app ID for my project, setting the Device Identifier with the UDID taken from iTunes, and setting up the provisioning profile).I looked up other answers and people have said to delete the DerivedData folder, but that has not worked. Running in simulator works, just when I switch from simulator to iPhone, Xcode crashes, I don't even have time to press the run button. Anyone have any ideas?Below is the crash report:Process: Xcode [910]Path: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/XcodeIdentifier: com.apple.dt.XcodeVersion: 8.3.2 (12175)Build Info: IDEFrameworks-12175000000000000~4App Item ID: 497799835App External ID: 821771079Code Type: X86-64 (Native)Parent Process: ???

Hi,My following question contains two parts: My source code organization & the countries description with my issue.1. Source code organizationI am actually working on an application for eleven countries. All these countries have the same source code but not the same functionalities. Indeed, some features are only available for some countries (feature flag).2. Countries description on iTunes ConnectOn iTunes Connect and for an app version, some countries aren't available (example: Poland). What're the best practices to describe a functionality in its own language and that'is only available for this country(feature flag)? I would like to conserve one source code and one app on the app store without making different apps (1 per country) in order to avoid the section 4.3 (Spam) from the reviews guidelines.Thank you in advance.

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.

According to Apple's new policy ( https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=84w3e5bm ) - bug fixes will no longer be delayed over guideline violations except for those related to legal issues. You’ll instead be able to address guideline violations in your next submission.. In 2019 updates to my apps were rejected due to apple Guidelines (note - not safety, not legal - guidelines) violation 4.3 - smap (I have only few of them and they are NOT reskins - they do share similar functionality, though not the same, and different graphics - they are similar only in a way any match 3 is similar to each other). A week ago I wanted to publish and update (SDK update and bugfixed, not gameplay or etc) again, and was still rejected - though obviously it should be allowed. Correct me if I am wrong or misunderstood the sentence from the top of my post. Otherwise whom do I contact to change my reviewer for the one that follows rules? Thank you

I am new in iOS developing world and I created my first app, which is a planner and time management tools. I tried to publish and my app was rejected because: 4. 3 Design: Spam Guideline 4.3 - Design. I am confused. What should I do?

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?

I have more then 150 stickers pack in AppStore. Last one was published week ago.

I am whitelabeling the Rocket.Chat app for use with a small but growing group of people. I want to make it as easy as possible for them to download and use the app as many of them are not very tech savvy. When going to upload the app, the review process flagged it as a violation of guideline 4.3 - Spam. My question is: 1) Is there another way that would be better to distribute my app? 2) Is there a way I can change my app or my listing so as not to violate 4.3 as spam is absolutely not my intension. Thank you for your help!

Hello Apple Developer Community, I hope this message finds you well. My app submission was recently rejected under Guideline 4.3(a) due to the App Review Team's determination that my app shares similarities in binary, metadata, and concept with apps submitted by other developers, with only minor differences. The feedback I received stated: We still found that your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences. Since we do not accept spam apps on the App Store, we encourage you to review your app concept and submit a unique app with distinct content and functionality. I have already made significant efforts to differentiate my app by implementing unique features and functionality tailored to my audience. However, I’d like to better understand: What specific aspects of my app might be contributing to the similarity concerns? How can I further highlight the unique features and functionality of my app to meet Apple's
