I have a kids / education app in the store. My app is free with limited functionality and users need to buy in-app purchase option for upgrade. Recently I got some emails from school / institutions asking if they could get the upgrade version app via School Manager. It seems like it's impossible to buy in-app purchase in bulk via School Manager. (Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.) So I built and submitted a separate paid version of my app with "School Edition" added to the name and no in-app purchase. But this app got rejected with the following message. "This app duplicates the content and functionality of other apps submitted by you or another developer to the App Store, which is considered a form of spam." I replied that many other developers are doing the same approach and they are live on the app store. They gave me a short answer saying that they can't provide feedback on app concept and I need to review the guidelines. I know there have been many apps that had both Lite (free) and Pro (paid) version. And there are still many apps that have the same approach such as MathTango.
