Has anyone else been getting iMessage applications rejected by Apple for Minimum design? See below. I have had a number of iMessage apps that I built through the iMessage Template in XCode that have been rejected. Not sure if Apple is starting to get very stringent on approving iMessage Sticker apps or if there is something else going on. These are sticker apps. There are no ways to elevate the design as far as I know. The content is what is important.

Guideline 4.2.6 - Design - Commercialized Templates and App Generation Services
We noticed that your app appears to be created from an app generation service or a commercialized template, but it was not directly submitted by the owner or provider of the content within the app.
Next Steps
To resolve this issue, this app will need to be submitted by the owner of the content or the provider of content within the app under their own Apple Developer Program account.
Another acceptable option is to create a single binary to host all your clients’ content in an aggregated or “picker” model, such as a restaurant finder with separate pages for each client restaurant, or as an event app with separate entries for each client event.
Note that regardless of which option you pursue, all apps submitted to the App Store should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. Apps that are not sufficiently useful, unique or "app-like" will be rejected for not meeting the standards outlined in Guideline 4.2.0 of the App Store Review Guidelines.
Please note: Providing proof of rights for the 3rd party content within your app does not suffice. You must provide documentation that shows ownership of the business or organization for which the app is designed.
