I've been updating an old app developed previously by someone else. He stopped working on this app some time ago, and my client assigned this job to me (this app developer previously worked for my client). He deleted his version from the App Store.
But. when I try to publish my version (with the same name, features etc. only with some minor updates) it gets rejected with:
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."
I've contacted the review team, telling them that there are no other apps like this one and that Im doing it with the consent of the same app company. But they keep sending me the same message.
Unfortunately the original app creator can't move his app onto my account (his apple developer membership expired).
And now I don't have a clue how to publish the new version, maybe its because of the different app bundle id? (For some reason it says that the original bundle id is unavailable so Im using a different one)
