Weve spent 20k on an app thats just been rejected as design spam.
Does that mean:
a) the account is "marked" and future reviews will be shadowed?
b) theres no point in making adjustments?
c) surely design is subjective - especially since the first reviewer didnt bring it up and only after it was re-submitted after answers to the res center it was 4.3'd?
any advice?
a) It might be that this particular submittal/app is flagged, but, a rejected app by itself doesn't necessarilty mean an account is flagged, unless, the rejection also perhaps said 'account is under investigation', in which case you may be prohibited from submitting additional apps, in which case there wouldn't be any 'future reviews' to be shadowed, so... Your question seems to conflate apps w/accounts, and, you didn't share the rejections/appeals, so, not clear.
b) If I can be blunt - A 4.3, IMHO, is a polite way of saying 'sorry, you don't have an app'. You can't adjust something that isn't there.
c) Subjective? Seems like a trick question.
BTW, we haven't used iTC for quite some time. ASC now, App Store Connect.
