Hi there, I got my recent app rejected and they sent me this:
We found in our review that your app does not meet all of our requirements for apps that offer highly regulated services or handle sensitive user data. Specifically: The account that submits the app must be enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an organization, and not as an individual. The guideline 5.1.1(ix) requirements give App Store users confidence that apps operating in highly regulated fields or that require sensitive user information are qualified to provide these services and will responsibly manage their data.
Next steps, To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to take the >following steps:
- Your app must be submitted through an Apple Developer Program account enrolled as an organization. You may either enroll in a new Apple Developer Program account as an organization, or request that your individual account be converted to an organization account by contacting Apple Developer Support.
Please note that you cannot resolve this issue with documentation showing permission to publish this app on behalf of the content owner or institution.
It's a trivia game/app, It's basic, made using Swift, only has user signup/sign in with phone number (no verification).. ...yet, another app, same as mine, Is operating in the App Store, functionality is 100% identical, And is not under an Org account!

Can someone guide me on this?
