App rejected after review

Apple app review sent me an e-mail wich said that my App was rejected. I'm publishing my app for the first time so i don't know what to do. They sent me this e-mail:

Hello,

Thank you for submitting your items for review. We noticed an issue with your submission that requires your attention.

Submission ID: 4fadb383-a182-41d6-9fbe-247670c58c30 App Name: Dana in Dzintaru 20

We look forward to working with you to resolve the issues with the following items:

App Version 1.0 for iOS

Guideline 2.1 - Information Needed

We're looking forward to completing our review, but we need more information to continue. Your app uses the AppTrackingTransparency framework, but we are unable to locate the App Tracking Transparency permission request when reviewed on iOS 16.4.

Next Steps

Please explain where we can find the App Tracking Transparency permission request in your app. The request should appear before any data is collected that could be used to track the user.

If you've implemented App Tracking Transparency but the permission request is not appearing on devices running the latest OS, please review the available documentation and confirm App Tracking Transparency has been correctly implemented.

If your app does not track users, update your app privacy information in App Store Connect to not declare tracking. You must have the Account Holder or Admin role to update app privacy information.

Resources

  • Tracking is linking data collected from your app with third-party data for advertising purposes, or sharing the collected data with a data broker. Learn more about tracking.
  • See Frequently Asked Questions about the requirements for apps that track users.
  • Review developer documentation for App Tracking Transparency.

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.

Next Steps

  • Review the Design section of the App Store Review Guidelines.
  • Ensure your app is compliant with all sections of the App Store Review Guidelines and the Terms & Conditions of the Apple Developer Program.
  • Once your app is fully compliant, resubmit your app for review.

When creating multiple apps where content is the only varying element, you should offer a single app to deliver differing content to customers. If you would like to offer this content for purchase, it would be appropriate to use the in-app purchase API.

Alternatively, you may consider creating a web app, which looks and behaves similar to a native app when the customer adds it to their Home screen. Refer to the Configuring Web Applications section of the Safari Web Content Guide for more information.

Submitting apps designed to mislead or harm customers or evade the review process may result in the termination of your Apple Developer Program account. Review the Terms & Conditions of the Apple Developer Program to learn more about our policies regarding termination.

you have to ask for Tracking Permission if you are using google analytics or any other tracking system.

if you are using flutter then you can use the following package: https://pub.dev/packages/app_tracking_transparency

Or if you are natively coding follow the official documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apptrackingtransparency

Also looks like you are trying to make a clone of any existing app. or using a template from code canyon which is published by many other people, so you need to change the UI of your app. and you may need to add some unique features.

I hope this helps, let me know if you need help.

If you've received a message about issues with an app, the best way to contact App Review is by replying to the message in App Store Connect. You will be contacted by a specialist familiar with our review of your app who can answer your questions.

You may also use the Apple Developer Contact Us page to request an update on our review of an app or request a call with an Apple representative.

I also got the "Your app uses the AppTrackingTransparency framework, but we are unable to locate the App Tracking Transparency permission request when reviewed on iOS 16.4".

I resolved the issue by adding that in, in my case I use React Native with Expo. I tested it using my device and simulator and it now shows that same request dialog. But after that the App Review team said I still had not resolved that issue.

I replied to the review thread, but I have no idea why they would still reject it despite it working and giving no more information. Feels like the review team is just being lazy.
