Hello,
We are a registered software company and have been unable to publish our iOS game for approximately three months because of repeated rejections under Guideline 4.3(a).
The first rejection stated that our app shared a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept with apps previously submitted by a terminated Apple Developer Program account. Later rejections repeated similar general wording but did not identify the application, account, source-code component, asset, SDK, metadata element, or design considered similar.
Our game is an original Unity project developed by our own team for more than two years. It was not purchased as a template, cloned, reskinned, or repackaged from another application.
We possess the complete Unity project, client and server source code, Git development history, design source files, custom assets, backend infrastructure, and all related project files. Our core code, game systems, UX/UI design, and custom visual work were created by our team. Any limited third-party assets or SDKs used by the project were obtained from legitimate sources, and the relevant licenses and purchase records are available.
The game also includes substantial custom functionality:
• A server-authoritative real-time multiplayer architecture developed by our team
• A 51-point opening rule that forms the core of every match
• Custom scoring and penalty rules for plays made on other players’ opened tile groups
• Matchmaking, table management, reconnect, timeout, and authoritative game-state recovery systems
• Multiple game modes and competitive tables
• Tournaments and leaderboards
• Friends, private messaging, in-game chat, and direct table invitations
• Player progression, daily rewards, missions, collectible profile icons, and virtual gifts
We use only one Bundle ID and one App Store Connect record. We have not submitted duplicate versions of this application through multiple Bundle IDs or unrelated developer accounts
