After successfully passing the review for version 1.0, I was consistently rejected after updating to version 1.0.1 with 4.3 (a). However, I only added some paid products to the original features, and did not make any changes to the layout or UI design. Why do you keep rejecting me.

hello,

Thank you for your message.

Regarding Guideline 4.3（a）, we continue to notice that your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences.

Some factors that contribute to a spam rejection may include:

Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store
Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template
Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party
Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts

We hope that you will make the appropriate changes to your app to bring it into compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines and resubmit your app for review.

Best regards,

Boost

The version I submitted is 1.0.1, and the build is 105. I only added features and optimizations to the original version, so it is judged as 4.3. Did the review compare my 1.0 version as a duplicate value

The fact that a version of(here 1.0) passes the review does not mean it will pass later on. It just means that issues were not detected first time but have been spotted in the new review. And app will not be accepted until it is resolved or you provide a convincing explanation.

Have you found what other app the reviewer refers to ? Are you aware that your app is so close to another app (including metadata and binary).
