We recently received feedback under Guideline 4.3(b) suggesting our app duplicates functionality found in other apps in this category. However, our app is fundamentally not a dating app. It is a conversation facilitator designed to foster meaningful connections for friendships, networking, and shared interests. While romantic connections may occur naturally, they are not the primary focus. Thus, we are seeking insights on this key question: How do developers effectively demonstrate feature differentiation to reviewers? We want to clearly show how our app’s functionality uniquely addresses user needs and provides value beyond existing solutions. Our Core Features: Our app introduces distinct features that differentiate it from traditional apps in this space: Paths: Psychology-based prompts embedded in chats encourage users to explore meaningful topics like values and aspirations. These prompts are dynamically triggered to keep conversations engaging and productive. Aura: A rewards system that incentivizes thoughtful, high-quality engagement by awarding points for meaningful conversations, which can unlock additional features. Spark Matches: Real-time, themed events pair users for structured, 15-minute conversations on topics like technology or travel. Curated prompts ensure the focus is on shared interests, not romance. Flame Matches: AI-personalized matches adapt to user conversations, connecting individuals based on compatibility. Chats begin anonymously, focusing on personalities rather than appearances, and are designed for platonic, professional, or friendship connections. Market Analysis: Our app addresses key gaps in the connection space: No apps embed conversation prompts directly into chats; nor do they trigger them regularly or dynamically, to foster deeper discussions over a sustained period. No apps have rewards systems designed to specifically incentivize meaningful engagement. No apps have matchmaking systems that adapt dynamically based on users’ past conversations. No apps support the combination of real-time, one-on-one themed conversations with curated prompts. Traction: As an incorporated business with over a year of experience, we have helped thousands of users build platonic, professional, and interest-based connections. For example, users in relationships join our events to find new friends, and professionals use Spark Matches to discuss shared interests like technology. Consistent feedback highlights our prompts and structured events as refreshing alternatives to superficial, appearance-driven platforms. Our rapidly growing user base has validated the demand for these features, and we would like to bring this experience natively to them via a mobile app on the App Store. Additional Context: While some basic chat functionality may overlap with existing platforms, our focus is on facilitating meaningful conversations and incentivizing a thoughtful conversation culture that represents a novel approach validated by user research and feedback. We welcome advice from developers who have successfully highlighted their app’s uniqueness when facing similar review challenges. Thank you in advance! :)

Recently I decided to download my app from the App Store and found out that during the first launch some colors were missing or displayed incorreclty. For example one button was blue, although switching dark mode on and off solved button color it. Some colors were completely missing and the tab bar buttons were blue as well. Any advices? I'm using iOS 18.2 and XCode 16.1

I'm trying to achieve a specific UI design in SwiftUI where the bottom section of my List has a different background color than the top section. For example in the Medications portion of the Health app, the "Your Medications" Section has a different background than the top "Log" Section. How do I achieve this?: Here some example code. I wonder if I am supposed to use two Lists instead. If I use two Lists though and nest it in a ScrollView, the height of the lists needs to be specified. I am working with dynamic content, though so I don't think that is ideal. class ProtocolMedication {} // Example model struct HomeView: View { @Query private var protocolMedications: [ProtocolMedication] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { // Upper sections with default background Section { Text("Content 1") } header: { Text("Log") } // Bottom section that needs different background Section { ForEach(protocolMedications) { medication in Text(medication.name) } } header: { Text("Your Medications") } } .listStyle(.insetGrouped) } } }
