“copycat”

Hello everyone, I am seeking some guidance on how to break out of what appears to be an automated App Review rejection loop. My app has been rejected three times in a row for the exact same reason, and my replies in the Resolution Center seem to be getting ignored. The Issue: My app is named Linkwise (associated with my web platform, linkwise.app). I am being rejected under Guideline 4.1(c) - Design - Copycats. The rejection message specifically states: The app's icon and name contain an icon, brand, or product name that belongs to the following developer: Linkwise. The bizarre part is that I am the developer of Linkwise. I am being accused of impersonating my own brand and product. Submission Details: App Name: Linkwise Submission ID: fa557f1b-3724-4e01-aa85-bf05ced4801f Version: 1.0.1 Review Device: iPhone 17 Pro Max What I've Tried: I have replied to the rejection message in App Store Connect three times explaining that I am the owner of the Linkwise brand and domain. Despite this, I keep receivin

But which app i am copying, I don't know. I got this message: Your app or its metadata appears to contain misleading content. Specifically, your app’s name is leveraging another popular app on App Store.I did a search of my app name on the App Store and didn't find any popular app with a similar name. My app name is Decision Coin - Flip or Spin Random Choice Maker. If anyone can tell me wich app i am copying, let me know. I replied asking the reviewer this but no reply yet. Thank you so much.

Dear all, I have been working for a year and invested a lot of money for creating a kind of a fantasy league related to football. I checked with a lawyer before starting the App development and he told me that if the game is free there shouldn't be any problem with the football team licenses, specially if we republish sports results (already published in all the international media). Obviously we use real football team shields, as we comply both conditions (free App and republish sports results).I have also checked other Apps in App Store and there are a lot of Apps including the same shields that I'm being told to remove from my App. I don't think all of them have any license from the FIFA or UEFA or any particular team.This is the answer I received from Apple:Guideline 4.1 - Design - CopycatsYour app or its metadata appears to contain misleading content.Specifically, your app includes content that resembles one or multiple third-party sport teams and/or leagues.It's a Freemium app, where we publish real res

I have submitted my app twice, with specific documentation showcasing the termination of agreement of the original release of my game via a publisher two years ago. The original released was removed from the App Store over a year ago and the publishers App Dev account closed. I have now finally readied my game to be published by myself on the App store but keep getting rejected with this info: Your app's metadata contains content that is similar to third-party content, which may create a misleading association with another developer's app or intellectual property. Specifically, the app's description, name, and icons includes references to xxxxxx. Next Steps It would be appropriate to revise the app and metadata to remove this third-party content before resubmitting for review. If you have the necessary rights to distribute an app with this third-party content, attach documentary evidence in the App Review Information section in App Store Connect and reply to this message. ______ The App is built from MY Unity

Hello, In my application I am using OpenAI's API to fetch responses inside my application. When I submit apple review they only give me this information for what is wrong with the application. Your metadata appears to contain third party content. Specifically, the app leverages OpenAI. The next submission of this app may require a longer review time. So, I would assume from this response I would not need to submit anything else. I have resubmitted and they gave me the same response. I have asked them what else I would need to add to the application, but they respond with: We are not able to provide feedback on app concepts or features, but we recommend evaluating your app against the App Store Review Guidelines, as well as the iOS Developer Program License Agreement (PLA), and the Human Interface Guidelines. I am going to try asking for more guidance for what extra I need to submit. But has anyone received issues with using API's? and how did you resolve this issue in App Store Review? Thanks in advance, Chri
