reply from Apple Review:

Guideline 2.1 - Information Needed



This type of app has been identified as one that may violate one or more of the following App Store Review Guidelines. Specifically, these types of apps often:


1.1.6 - Include false information, features, or misleading metadata

2.3.0 - Undergo significant concept changes after approval

2.3.1 - Have hidden or undocumented features, including hidden "switches" that redirect to a gambling or lottery website

3.1.1 - Use payment mechanisms other than in-app purchase to unlock features or functionality in the app

3.2.1 - Do not come from the financial institution performing the loan services

4.3.0 - Are a duplicate of another app or are conspicuously similar to another app

5.2.1 - Were not submitted by the legal entity that owns and is responsible for offering any services provided by the app

5.2.3 - Facilitate illegal file sharing or include the ability to save, convert, or download media from third party sources without explicit authorization from those sources

5.3.4 - Do not have the necessary licensing and permissions for all the locations where the app is used


Before we can continue with our review, please confirm that this app does not violate any of the above guidelines. You may reply to this message in Resolution Center or the App Review Information section in App Store Connect to verify this app’s compliance.


Given the tendency for apps of this type to violate the aforementioned guidelines, this review will take additional time. If at any time we discover that this app is in violation of these guidelines, the app will be rejected and removed from the App Store, and it may result in the termination of your Apple Developer Program account.


Should you choose to resubmit this app without confirming this app’s compliance, the next submission of this app will still require a longer review time. Additionally, this app will not be eligible for an expedited review until we have received your confirmation.




Since your App Store Connect status is Metadata Rejected, we do NOT require a new binary. To revise the metadata, visit App Store Connect to select your app and revise the desired metadata values. Once you’ve completed all changes, reply to this message in Resolution Center and we will continue the review.

I have been studying development for more than three years。And joined the apple developer program for more than three years。Only one application was submitted, which was not connected to the Internet and was a stand-alone App.However, this App was rejected, which made me very frustrated。

What is your question? According to App Review, something in the description of your app ("This type of app has been identified") is suspicious. Please explain what your app says it does and perhaps we can explain to you why it is suspicious.

>"a small square elimination procedure".


Do you expect the reader to understand what that means?

My reading of the Review message is that further information is required for the review to proceed. You are asked to confirm that your app does not breach the listed Guidelines. The app has not been rejected, yet.


if you honestly believe that you have not breached the Guidelines, then respond so. If that turns out, in the Reviewer’s opinion, not to be true then the app will (probably) be rejected.


Regards,


Michaela

I am the owner of Naturalbornfool.com I have been unhappy with Apple for 9 months in my efforts to launch my stand-up comedy app. My development team has successfully been able to launch my app with Android phones but Apple keeps rejecting our initiative. It is constantly rejected by Apple since November of 2021,..it is now May 2022 and my development team is still getting rejections from you. I had a conversation with a representative of Apple who barely spoke English which made the conversation even more frustrating despite her best efforts to assist me. I submitted a ticket NO ONE from Apple has verbally reached out to me nor my team to explain verbally what we are doing wrong. This hold up is not professional and is killing my bottom line, preventing me to assist my subscribers/users and preventing from earning advertising dollars. I really want to involve an intellectual property attorney to give me some insight and leverage regarding this issue because I am NOT technically inclined to solve this matter and my development team is at the end of their rope! **PLEASE APPLE, HELP ME LAUNCH MY APP ON iPHONE PRODUCTS....PLEASE!!!!

This is an app for a blog. Intention behind the app is Just for delivering good content to end users via app. In future we will add Push Notifications, Save content for offline access and more.

Unfortunately, Rejection Reasons under the app review is "Others", so i can't justify the problem with my app. Please explain in detail so i can make the changes in app according to your terms and condition.

Thanks & Regards

Waiting for positive response.

maybe hire another development team such as native iOS developers instead of cross-platforms. Android developers are not up to date with the current rules for the AppStore. There is a high chance they did something wrong in the code
