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.

Next Steps

Since we do not accept spam apps on the App Store, we encourage you to review your app concept and submit a unique app with distinct content and functionality.

Resources

Some factors that contribute to a spam rejection may include:

Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store
Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template
Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party
Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts

I received the same message today which I don't really understand. Do you use Flutter?

I have the same problem. I made a game, uploaded it, and passed the moderation. Then, when updating to a new version, after adding in-app purchases using RevenueCat, I received a rejection.

The game is also written in Flutter. Could that be the issue? Any ideas on what to do? I've already rewritten it from scratch twice, with entirely different code.
