Hello, my app address: https://apps.apple.com/cn/app/%E4%B8%89%E5%9B%BD%E6%88%98%E4%BA%89%E7%AD%96%E7%95%A5slg/id6741073714?ct=Tap725796 I submitted a version update request for version 1.23.1 on April 10, and submitted an accelerated review application, but it has not been reviewed yet. Today, I have updated the new version to 1.23.2, and submitted an accelerated application request, but it has not been reviewed yet. Maybe because the online version review is stricter, I also submitted a review request for the TestFlight version, which has also been stuck waiting for review. This is an online battle SLG game, which has been updating its version every week for half a year. Because the Android version has been updating steadily, the Apple version has suddenly been unable to update in the past two weeks, resulting in the unusable networking function. Currently, there are a large number of complaints from Apple players. I really don’t know if there is any suitable solution. I will try my best to cooperate as long as I can. I hope that Apple’s official reviewers can provide timely help to developers and Apple players. This is an online battle slg game, which currently has 4 independent gameplays. I learned from the server log that the reviewer did not log in to the online account I submitted, and two of the gameplays were not experienced at all. This is a game that has been developed for half a year. Some interfaces or functions may be similar to other applications. This is just a similar function. A complete game is composed of a large number of various interfaces and functions. It is completely unreasonable to conclude that it is exactly the same as other applications because of one similarity. It is like two people who are completely unrelated look alike. This is common in reality, but they are very different because of their different experiences . The same two different applications may be similar in some places, but the overall difference is huge because of the author's goals and preferences. I just hope that Apple reviewers respect the work of every developer and all users who choose to buy Apple phones to experience Apple applications. This app has been updated weekly for half a year. The link https://www.taptap.cn/app/725796?os=android basically records the development process. During the development process, a large number of players participated in the problem feedback and provided a lot of valuable suggestions, a large part of which were implemented in the game, which made this game unique. Of course, the achievements of this game will also cause jealousy among some psychopaths. They can only satisfy their personal perverted pleasure by constantly giving bad reviews, reporting faults, etc. The suggestions of such extremists are not of much reference value.

Multiline Appeal Ticket: APL149985 Thank you for your patience as we considered your appeal. The App Review Board determined that the original rejection feedback was valid. Your app does not comply with: 4.3(a) - Design During our review, we found that this app duplicates the content and functionality of other apps submitted to the App Store, which is considered a form of spam and not appropriate for the App Store. Apps submitted to the App Store should be unique and should not duplicate other apps. We encourage you to create a unique app to submit to the App Store.

We appreciate your efforts to resolve this issue and look forward to reviewing your revised submission. Best regards, Leo App Review Board BlockQuote 跟苹果官方审核人员电话沟通过后，我更觉得拒绝审核没有道理了。 对话谈到两点，我游戏的代码和其他游戏的代码相似，我游戏的概念玩法和其他游戏的相似。 代码相似方面，应该是机器审核的，我这个游戏从1月底到现在4月初已经稳定更新了2个多月，更新了20+个版本，之前机器审核没判断出代码相似，那说明类似的代码是在我应用提交后才提交的，那有可能是后提交的应用的代码和我的应用相似，有盗版应用提交到苹果商店，但是你们没判断出来，还把我这个正版的给拒绝通过审核了。 游戏概念玩法相似方面，我游戏目前官方是平台的角色，游戏主要玩法内容是玩家创造的，目前市面上完全没有这样的一个slg玩法，让玩家去设计技能，再用玩家设计的技能进行游戏，如果你能说出一款有类似玩法的slg游戏，那么我将不再争论。如果没有的话，那么我的应用的玩法和其他应用就是不一样的，就没理由不允许我上架。而且由游戏玩法反推游戏代码，不同的玩法功能怎么可能是类似的代码做出来的？这逻辑上完全没有道理。希望您能慎重审核。

My game has been updated steadily every week on the appstore for several months. When I submitted the updated version for review recently, it was rejected by 4.3, saying that my game has no characteristics. However, there is no other game with unique features such as custom skills on the appstore except my game, so I am puzzled and hope to be re-reviewed. There is another problem. My game has accumulated a part of users on the appstore user side. They are anxious because they cannot update to the latest version and urge me to solve the Apple version update problem quickly. I hope Apple can give me, an individual developer and Apple mobile phone users, a practical solution to this problem, instead of just a 4.3 rejection without specifying the specific reason.

my app in app store: https://apps.apple.com/cn/app/%E4%B8%89%E5%9B%BD%E6%88%98%E4%BA%89%E7%AD%96%E7%95%A5slg/id6741073714?ct=Tap725796 my app in android store: https://www.taptap.cn/app/725796?os=android Hello, Thank you for your response. Your app still provides the same feature set as other apps submitted to the App Store for review. Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps. To resolve the issue it would be appropriate to revise your app to provide a unique experience or submit a new app that does not repackage the content and functionality of other apps on the App Store. You may also choose to post a question in the Apple Developer Forums. Best regards, App Review This is a cross-era slg game. Players can customize and create the generals' skills they want in the game. The game has been updated for half a year. After the basic functions of the slg game are realized, the game's special functions and custom skills are being developed. However, the previous audits have passed, but the latest audits have not passed. As far as I know, none of the current slg games support custom skills. If there are, I will no longer provide audits. Obviously, this is a unique game, but Apple's official auditors refused to pass the audit, which I cannot understand. I think Apple's official approach is very unprofessional. At present, our game has a considerable number of Apple players. If the first application was rejected for review a few months ago, I would not think there is any problem, but my application has been updated weekly for several months. Now the latest version of the app has not been approved. Some Apple users have been urging me to update the app. Obviously, this is a unique app. Otherwise, they can choose to play other similar apps that you think. The latest version of the app on Android has been continuously updated, which makes Apple users who cannot experience the latest version very anxious. I hope that Apple officials will have more sense of responsibility for Apple developers or Apple mobile phone users, and have practical solutions to problems. Obviously, I have said so much, just to seek a feasible solution, so please tell me, what should I do to pass the review? Why can the previous simple version pass the review? Why can't the innovative and unique SLG game with custom skills pass the review?

i have a game that i upload it in the app store that my game size is 3 gigaByte but when I download it, it show that the really size is about 100 megaByte, i upload the game in google app is given me the real size, so the problem i think is when it get out the xcode, maybe some one can give me i clue for what is going on. my game was made by unity2020. if that helps.

Dear Apple Developer Community, I have been facing repeated 4.3 Spam rejections for my game on the App Store, and I am struggling to understand the reason behind it. My game is a multiplayer racing and drifting game, fully designed and developed from scratch. Every aspect—including UI, 3D assets, game mechanics, and netcode—has been built independently. While I have used some paid assets, they are strictly for visuals only (such as models and textures), not game templates or code templates. Additionally, these assets have been significantly modified to fit my game’s unique style. To address the rejection, I have made numerous changes—some major and some minor—including: Modifying gameplay elements Adjusting UI and mechanics Updating the App Store listing (title, screenshots, description, and category) Despite these efforts, I continue to receive the same 4.3 Spam rejection. I have also tried to appeal multiple times but have not received any response. My game is categorized under Racing and Simulation (with Racing as the main category), but I even tried submitting it under just Games without subcategories—yet the rejection persists. I’m truly frustrated and unsure what else I can do to resolve this issue. If anyone has faced a similar situation or has any advice on how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Thank you in advance!

In my project, I have several nodes (SCNNode) with some levels of detail (SCNLevelOfDetail) and everything works correctly, but when I add animation using morphing (SCNMorpher), the animation works correctly but without the levels of detail. Note: the entire scene is created in Autodesk 3D Studio Max and then exported in (.ASE) format. The goal is to make animations using morphing that have some levels of detail. Does anyone know if SCNMorpher supports geometry with some levels of detail? I appreciate any information about this case. Thanks everyone!!! Part of the code I use to load geometries (SCNGeometry) with some levels of detail (SCNLevelOfDetail) using morphing (SCNMorpher). node.morpher = [SCNMorpher new]; SCNGeometry *geometry = [self geometryWithMesh:mesh]; NSMutableArray <SCNLevelOfDetail*> *mutLevelOfDetail = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:self.mutLevelsOfDetail.count]; for (int i = 0; i < self.mutLevelsOfDetail.count; i++) { ASCGeomObject *geomObject = self.mutLevelsOfDetail[i]; SCNGeometry *geometry = [self geometryWithMesh:geomObject.mesh.mutMeshAnimation[i]]; [mutLevelOfDetail addObject:[SCNLevelOfDetail levelOfDetailWithGeometry:geometry worldSpaceDistance:geomObject.worldSpaceDistance]]; } geometry.levelsOfDetail = mutLevelOfDetail; node.morpher.targets = [node.morpher.targets arrayByAddingObject:geometry];

I am using Unity's GameKit to implement a turnbase game. I want to make a UI in Unity to show all the games I can join. I tried using var matches = await GKTurnBasedMatch.LoadMatches(); to get all the open matches. But it seems that I can only get the matcm related to the current apple account. Can you help me get all the matches? ALSO I used var match = await GKTurnBasedMatchmakerViewController.Request(request); to exit the gamecenter interface and start a game (automatic matching, no one was invited) Another device used var match = await GKTurnBasedMatch.Find(request); to find the game, but it did not find the game, but it start a new game (automatic matching). Can you help me solve these problems?

I’ve been having problems with MacOS builds. I’m making a release Appstore build and uploading it to Testflight. However when running it instantly crashes, and report screen shows the following: Current flow: I sign all files in PlugIns/ (we have a number of .bundle), and I’ve tried combinations of signing with/without --entitlements, as well as with/without --deep. After this I sign Frameworks/GameAssembly.dylib and Frameworks/UnityPlayer.dylib. Again, I’ve tried combinations of with/without --entitlements and --deep, also not signing them at all. After signing PlugIns and frameworks, I sign the .app, also tried this with/without --deep (always with --entitlements). Finally I make a .pkg and upload to Testflight. It’s not the game, as I can make an enterprise version that runs fine. We have some restricted entitlements, such as Apple Arcade. Building from an M1 mac, and architecture is Universal (Intel + ARM). Unity documentation says to use --deep, but Apple documentation highly recommend against it. So basically, my question is, how and in what order should I sign the files? Much obliged!

I am worried that Rosetta 2 will eventually be removed. I rely on it to run x86-64 Docker containers as well as Windows games through the Game Porting Toolkit. I also use CrossOver very often, which relies on Rosetta. I also use an old version of MuseScore that needs it, and every now and then, I download a legacy Intel Mac app. Thus, I'm worried that Apple will no longer offer it for download in future macOS versions. Are there any plans to remove Rosetta? Since Rosetta is only installed on demand, I have a slight bit of reassurance that it might be offered for download indefinitely, since most casual users naturally won't install it in the future as most general consumer apps are compiled natively for ARM, and the on-demand install cuts down on the bloat included with macOS by default. I hope Rosetta could be offered indefinitely, since many pro-users and gamers rely on it very often, even 10 years from now when Intel Macs are completely unsupported. If Rosetta is removed, I might have to switch back to Windows for many tasks, so I really hope for the continued offering of Rosetta.

I have a Unity application in which I'm implementing a GameCenter login with PlayFab. I fetch the items and use them in the PlayFab request, which returns me the error 'Authentication failed. Signature does not match the authentication request data'. I've reproduced the request using Insomnia with the same results. I have this exact same flow implemented in another application, which works normally. I'm positive that the PlayFab verification is correct, and there's indeed an issue with the data being sent, but I can't find any information about this kind of situation anywhere, and I don't know how to either reproduce the verification myself, or how to inspect the data to check for issues. I have reviewed my app's data on AppstoreConnect and have filled every form, document, and even its store page. I've also checked it's bundle identifier settings to make sure it had all the permissions necessary, which seems to be only GameCenter. I fetch the authentication items through this code try { Debug.Log("Fetching authentication items"); var fetchItemsResponse = await GKLocalPlayer.Local.FetchItems(); PlayFabGameCenterLogin(fetchItemsResponse); } catch (Exception ex) { Debug.Log("Error fetching authentication items: " + ex.Message); OnLoginFailure(); } Which is then sent to this method to start the login request static void PlayFabGameCenterLogin(GKIdentityVerificationResponse authenticationItems) { var request = new LoginWithGameCenterRequest(); request.CreateAccount = true; request.PlayerId = GKLocalPlayer.Local.GamePlayerId; request.InfoRequestParameters = new GetPlayerCombinedInfoRequestParams { GetUserAccountInfo = true }; if (authenticationItems != null) { request.PublicKeyUrl = authenticationItems.PublicKeyUrl; request.Salt = Convert.ToBase64String(authenticationItems.GetSalt()); request.Signature = Convert.ToBase64String(authenticationItems.GetSignature()); request.Timestamp = authenticationItems.Timestamp.ToString(); } else Debug.Log("Playfab Login with no authentication items"); // Login PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithGameCenter(request, OnLoginSuccess, (e) => { I'm on Unity 2022.3.10f1 Apple.Core 3.1.3 Apple.GameKit 2.2.2 Xcode 16.2 I need information on what could be the cause of this, if it's a SDK issue, a lack of filling information somewhere, if it's some data compatibility issue (maybe data on the app that's not the same on the appstoreconnect or developer?), or if it's possible to verify the authentication data manually to investigate.

Hello everyone, i created a game that is related to doctor operation simulator. In this game, user perform different operations on different organs like face, elbow, foot etc. Game is live on play store and here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexthope.doctor.hospital.surgery.games&hl=en_US&gl=US But it was rejected by app store review team. Similar games are already there on app store. Please help me on this issue.

Hi everyone, I recently received a rejection for my app submission on the App Store. The rejection reason was: "We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences. Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps." (Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam) However, my game is quite different. It features a unique pixel art style and introduces fresh mechanics, such as cleaning tasks, accepting additional missions from NPCs, and even an idle clicker-style system where players can hire workers to gather in-game points. These elements differentiate it from other apps in the same category. My game's name is quite different as well: "My Pixel Market Sim - AppID: 6742187384" Additionally, the code behind the game is completely my own, and I even sell a popular Unity Asset on the Unity Asset Store for this category. So, I can assure you the app isn’t a repackage of anything existing. (I am the owner and publisher: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/market-shop-store-and-retail-game-creator-for-both-pc-and-mobile-291107) Can anyone shed some light on why this might have been flagged as spam? I'd really appreciate any advice or guidance on how to proceed with re-submitting my app. Thank you in advance!

Hi, I'm working on a game for the past few years using first Unreal Engine 4, and now Unreal Engine 5.4.4. I'm experiencingan unusual crash on startup on some devices . The crash is so fast that I'm barely able to see the launching screen sometimes because the app closes itself before that. I got a EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) so I know that it's a null pointer reference, but I can't quite wrap my head about the cause, I think that's something messed up in the packaging of the app, but here is where I'm blocked, I'm not that accustomed with apple devices. If someone has some advise to give, please, any help will be very valuable. Many thanks. Log : Crash Log on Ipad

AppStore download link:https://apps.apple.com/cn/app/%E7%9B%BC%E4%B9%8B%E4%BB%A3%E5%94%AE-%E4%B8%93%E4%B8%9A%E7%9A%84%E6%B8%B8%E6%88%8F%E6%9C%8D%E5%8A%A1%E5%B9%B3%E5%8F%B0/id6737429967. Why can this app be listed on the AppStore when it involves game account transactions? I have recorded and reported many times, but it has no effect. Is it possible to launch the app for game account trading in Chinese Mainland now? Seeking answers.

The solo Leveling:arise is a game but the game mode is not switching on and game crashing everything time while playing

Hello, My app was rejected because of App Review Guideline 4.3 – Design Spam. I developed Dynasty of Sic Bo, an exciting game that combines elements of roulette and dice rolling. Players can bet on different dice combinations, testing their luck and strategy to win virtual riches. The game is designed to be simple and enjoyable for beginners while still engaging for experienced players. I’ve tried multiple times to understand the exact reasons for this rejection, but all my efforts have been ignored by App Review. None of the changes I implemented resolved the issue, and I still don’t know what specifically needs to be addressed. The app’s concept, gameplay, and design are entirely original, and I haven’t copied or reused content from other apps. While the game shares a general theme of dice-based gambling, I worked hard to create a unique experience with polished visuals, engaging mechanics, and a dynamic atmosphere. I don’t understand how to proceed or demonstrate the originality of my app, as I can’t identify any apps that are identical to mine. I would really appreciate any advice or insights on how to resolve this issue. Kind regards, Nick Bohdan Malashina

I play this game called Sonic Forces: Speed Battle that's available in the app store and I completed a quest outside of the app on this site called TapResearch for some rewards as I've done before and has worked, but after this one time I can no longer enter back into the game without crashing immediately. I tried deleting and reinstalling but nothing. I even tried signing into a different account but that didn't work either. So then I tried to make a new game center account to try and see if it works, and it did, though all my progress has been restarted. Does anyone know how to fix this?
