“4.3”

My app has been rejected twice (on March 5 and March 11) . 1. Response to Initial Rejection (March 5) After the first rejection on March 5, I thoroughly reviewed the feedback and provided the following evidence to demonstrate the originality of my app: Design Documentation: I shared multiple iterations of the app’s design process, including early sketches and final mockups. Code Provenance: I provided Git version control logs to show the development history and prove that the code was written entirely by me. Explanation of Uniqueness: I explained how my app differs from existing productivity and wellness apps, particularly in its combination of focus and relaxation features. Despite this, my feedback was rejected. I took the feedback seriously and made significant improvements to the app before resubmitting. 2. Changes Made After First Rejection To address potential concerns and enhance the app’s value, I implemented the following changes: Added New Features: Introduced a breathing guide with visual animation

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 everyone, I'm stuck here, i have developed an app, and i keep getting from Apple Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam - We continue to notice that your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences. As i was looking around this seems to be so much an issue now for many people and i don't understand why. My app which is approved in Android already it have an unique design built my own, and the most important the content (in this case futures crypto signals) are created by my own strategy, so it can be no where else found. I literally have no idea what to do next, i don't want to do major changes because i don't believe the app looks similar to any other app and for the reason that its already in Google Play Store i don't want to do major UI design. We would greatly appreciate any valuable advice from fellow developers in the community to help us navigate this challenge and successfully pass the review

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.

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

Here is the English translation of your content:  Section 1: Our game was developed using Cocos Creator 3.8.5, written in TypeScript. The team spent nearly two years completing it. Initially, our submission wasn't classified under Guideline 4.3(a). The first four reviews provided normal feedback, which we addressed. However, after a subsequent rejection citing 4.3(a), we considered whether similarities in gameplay concepts, narrative, or art assets might exist. In response, our team introduced unique features not found in other App Store applications. We completely redesigned our original art assets to ensure originality and extensively modified aspects potentially resembling other developers’ work. This included removing all third-party SDK modules except Apple Pay and Sign in with Apple. Despite these significant efforts, we still received a 4.3(a) rejection. We have now iterated over 20 versions but continue to face this issue.  Section 2: Our game’s business logic code (exclud

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

I have app, which I developed and published: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/selfie-horoscopes/id1437164941?ls=1&mt=8After approval I decided to make update and added IAP subscription.And got this: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.Why so? 🙂

My application was developed by myself There is a reason for being misunderstood Please allow me to provide some information： My application has already been launched on a macOS platform version (temporarily called AAA). I encountered difficulties in compiling the SDK, as it cannot be compatible with two platforms in the same project at the same time. Therefore, I have specifically developed an iOS version (temporarily called BBB) This version uses a different bundle ID from the plaintiff's macOS platform version, equivalent to two independent apps. Then, the (BBB) version of my iOS platform was rejected. The reason was 4.3- Spam. I accepted this decision and did not attempt to apply for listing again, and deleted the relevant information. Later on, I spent time and finally overcame the difficulties of SDK compilation, successfully developing an iOS version (temporarily called CCC) based on the macOS version, using the same bundle ID as the macOS version, which can be considered as the same app My ne

Hi everyone, I would like to ask for help how should I resolve the issue with app submission for Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam. I will explain my case to you. I assigned a task to junior engineer to submit an app from a personal developer account because my organization account has not been available yet. I thought I could be transfer later or resubmit under different bundle id and account would be okay. yes, it was my fault . But the app review process was taking too long in the personal account and I told him to cancel and delete the app submission, thinking that there might be not issue since the app was not released in AppStore. After I submitted the updated version of app with organization account, it doesn't get approve and getting 4.3.0 Spam rejection. We have taken about 6 months of work putting all the efforts both in the technical and business side on the product from scratch. We are about to launch in next week and our app is got rejected. I don't know what to do. I've all the authority

I’m looking for advice and clarification regarding an issue I’ve encountered during the review process. My app was recently rejected under Guideline 4.3(a) for allegedly duplicating content or functionality of other apps. The feedback stated that my app appears to be identical to apps already on the App Store, but I’m confident this is a misunderstanding. The app is entirely unique, both in its functionality and its independently developed codebase. This rejection is puzzling, as I’ve thoroughly reviewed the guidelines and ensured that my app adheres to them. Has anyone else encountered similar issues? How did you address them? To the Apple team: Could you provide additional context or examples of the similarities identified? I’d be happy to address any concerns or make adjustments if necessary to align with the App Store standards. Submission ID: a6e96157-a543-45c6-b05d-8c50766ea4bf I’m grateful for any insights or advice from the community and the Apple team. Thanks in advance for your help! Best r
