4.3

Hi,We are developing a dating app and got rejected by the Appstore several times. So I decided to change our business model, marketing, and took out certain functions after having a phone call with apple.I deleted the old bundle, and created a new one.Now I got rejected again for 4.3 Spam issues. However, I deleted the old bundle BEFORE submitting the new one. The bundle is the only one I have in my developer account. All I wanted to have is a fresh start. I tried to clearify that but now Apple isn't responding since 7 days. We noticed 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.The next submission of this app may require a longer review time, and this app will not be eligible for an expedited review until this issue is resolved.Any idea how long I have to wait for an answer, or is that some kind of unlimited time ban?

Hi,I created new app and submitted but the answer from Apple is:We noticed 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.I coded and designed it by myself. There may be similar apps on App Store doing the similar job but that shouldn't make my app a spam! My algorithm is different and my UI is better. Why I can't compete with other apps? No sense.

Hey community, Spent a good two years crafting a multi-protocols VPN app for iOS and Android. Exciting news – the Android version's live on Google Play. However, hit a roadblock with the iOS version; it got the rejection stamp, and we've been trying to sort it out for two weeks now. Sent over four inquiries and even asked for a phone call with the Reviewer, but no luck so far. The rejection reason is Design 4.3, and they're talking about a similar binary, metadata, and concept. We're all ears for suggestions on resolving this and keen on getting our app on the App Store. Any insights or help would be awesome! Cheers, Mo

Hello we have developed our app after years of hard work and managed somehow to make payment for the apple developer program After multiple reviews from the past 2 months, Apple is still rejecting our app stating 4.3 reason design spam as they already host many dating apps We can understand that the app can be sometimes similar but our app has some very unique features which no other app offers in the market. We have tried changing the design layout adding removing features but still, apple rejected our app we haven't use the app to sexualize in any way, it's just a normal app as it is already live in numerous app stores and can be accessed on any device through a browser it makes no sense for the rejection of the app, our users are always asking when are we going live on the apple app store Any help from you all is highly appreciable we have already tried the app review board still in vain many apps with a very simple design and the same concept were accepted recently which makes me think about what

Hello. They told me this: We are not able to provide feedback on app concepts or features, but we recommend evaluating your suggestions against the App Store Review Guidelines, as well as the iOS Developer Program License Agreement (PLA), and the Human Interface Guidelines. Additionally, if you are considering implementing any of the following functionality, we recommend reviewing all associated reference material and other resources available on Apple Developer for any additional requirements. I'm trying to add a card game to the app store, but it's being rejected. I can't understand why, apparently it would be because there is another card game like it. Is that possible ? There are many poker games for example. I need help ! Thanks. Greetings.

Hello, I would like to make an appeal on behalf of small businesses around the world.My name is André, I'm a developer and an entrepreneur.When Apple was created its biggest mission was to bring technology to everyone. I'm in love with this ideology. Technology for all in an easy and usual way.Many development companies work hard to generate jobs, move their country's economy, realize dreams, and bring quality technology to users.Currently I received a call from Simone, from Apple's review team (case: 1769784) - she was very caring, polite and professional.Simone told me that my applications are outside of Apple's guidelines, my case is item 4.3 Design Spam. She suggested that I create a container application to solve the problem.As I accepted being an Apple developer I should suit the guidelines. However, it is a guideline that goes against information democracy. Brands do not want to share spaces with competitors. Example is Apple itself. Apple has concept stores around the world that only sell App

I have submitted my app. It is a unique app. But it was rejected due to this ; We are writing to let you know that we have completed our evaluation of your app and account. Upon further review, we found that your app does not comply with the following guidelines: 4.3 Spam Don’t create multiple Bundle IDs of the same app. If your app has different versions for specific locations, sports teams, universities, etc., consider submitting a single app and provide the variations using in-app purchase. 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. I have submitted same app before with different bundle ID and different app ID. It was rejected because of a coding problem. But I have deleted that submission already. I

Hello,We’re struggling ourselves with the 4.3 Rule Spam restriction, and we need your guide to know how to proceed without breaking the Apple Rules.Well, our company develop homecare softwares, monitoring health by an app, where user can save and view its historic of health recordings, such as glucose, blood pressure, oximetry and others. Actually we have one app at store, Glico, which registers glucose, meals, medicines and physical activity.The problem is, that we have some contracts to develop new apps, for different companies. They’ll have similar purpose, and also similar design, but their icons, colors, and also some parts of the design will be different between them. As well, they will have some same features, and some others different.Our doubt lies in if and how we can do this without breaking the Apple Rules (in this case, 4.3 Rule Spam restriction, about similar apps), because as a great part of features will be shared between the apps, we will reuse great (or at least some) of th

Hi, I've built my own Collaboration/Messenger App based on Rocket.Chat from the open source, bound to my server and necessary to receive push notifications from my server. My app was refused today with: Guideline 4.3 - Design We noticed 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. The next submission of this app may require a longer review time, and this app will not be eligible for an expedited review until this issue is resolved. Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality We found that the usefulness of your app is limited because it seems to be intended for a small, or niche, set of users. I'm pretty puzzled. Regarding 4.2, how should I deploy an app to potential 250 users of my sports club if not via the AppStore. This is not a company where BusinessManager etc. can be used, I have no control over any devices. But finally 4.3 ... what I read my understanding of Spam i

Regarding Guideline 4.3 - Design - Spam, your app primarily includes dating features that duplicate the content and functionality of similar apps in a saturated category'. Our app is a dating app for anime fans, we feature Tinder-like swiping but have many distinguishing features. Video: https://streamable.com/xedrse Website: https://senpaiapp.com We were hoping to launch next week and this is a huge disappointment, we even have a Japanese localization in progress. I think the tester had a bad experience due to swiping without interaction on the seeded profiles -- so I resubmitted so they can experience a=our distinguishing features like our anime recommendation engine. Anyway, is there a way forward? I've filed an appeal, but I would hate to miss launching ahead of Valentine's Day.

We are seeking clarification on guideline 4.3, Spam. We are readying to deploy an individual and unique app for each of our clients and were advised we should review the guideline. Since we have seen other companies who appear to be building with the same set-up we do not think we are in conflict, but we want to make sure we are proceeding correctly. To elaborate on our setup: We build with a shared codebase that deals with communication with our servers, page rendering and state management however, the resultant app produced is unique to each client. Clients select custom background images, logos, provide custom messaging and may choose from any one of our color themes. Also, their “App Information”, eg their description, keywords, marketing and naming used for their store presence are unique to the produced app. Users who install our clients app may view details related to our client’s business and use it to manage services with our client. Users without an account may browse views of our a client’
