App rejected due to 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.

Apps should be unique and should not attempt to deceive users into thinking they are downloading something they are not....

I have faced multiple rejections for my app due to the same issue. However, the Apple reviewer has not provided any specific information about where the issue lies, making it difficult for me to address it. In the subsequent steps, I was instructed to thoroughly review the app store review guidelines and ensure compliance with them, which I have done.

I have also reached out to the app review team but have not received a response yet. It is frustrating that the email does not mention the exact content that is being considered as copied. It feels like a generic message, and I am unsure about the next course of action.

If anyone has been in a similar situation or has insights into what might be happening, I would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you.

I have exactly the same problem, reviewer has not provided any specific information about where the issue lies. Do you have the same app on the Play Store? Maybe they refer the Play Store by "from a third-party platform".
