Hello.
I've tried a dozen times to upload my app, each time getting a response that the app was rejected due to 4.1 copycats.
The most recent response:
Guideline 4.1 - Design - Copycats.
This app or its metadata appears to be misrepresenting itself as another popular app or game already available on the App Store, from a developer's website or distribution source, or from a third-party platform.
On my requests to clarify what exactly was identified as copycats, no specifics were given to me. Because of this I conclude that it is not about some stock images or sound assets, but that it is specifically about my application (name and icon).
I am the solo developer of the app and it has been available for 5 years on Google Play. No other platforms have my app on them, only Google Play. Since Apple has not provided me with specifics about what they need as proof of rights to the app, I have screen recorded my personal Google Play Developer Console account, which proves that I have all the necessary rights to manage my app on Google Play.
To this I received the following response:
Guideline 4.1 - Design - Copycats

Apps should be unique and should not attempt to deceive users into thinking they are downloading something they are not.
We did not receive sufficient documentation.
Please help me understand what documentation they are talking about if I am a solo developer with every right to my own app. Do they want me to register a company and register the naming rights to my app?
