I have also sent emails and made several phone calls, but the responses I received were very generic. The previous versions were approved and published, but there is no clear explanation as to why the later versions were flagged as Spam under guideline 4.3 (A).

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out to seek advice and support regarding a confusing issue I’m experiencing with my app’s review process. App ID: 6744330283 Here’s the situation: Versions 1.0 and 1.1 of my app were approved and successfully published on the App Store. However, updates 1.2 and 2.0 have both been rejected for Guideline 4.3 – Spam. The rejection happens extremely fast – less than 10 seconds after the app goes “In Review”, it gets rejected. There is no indication that the reviewer even launched the app. This is very frustrating because: The app has real user reviews, In-App Purchases, and active paying users. My app is 100% original – it is not a copy or template-based app. Even worse, the review process for versions 1.2 and 2.0 took over 7 days before even starting, and then they were rejected instantly, again without being opened. I’m happy to cooperate and improve my app further, but I feel like this may be a misunderstanding or a mistaken flag by an automated process. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there any way to get a more thorough manual review or speak directly with the review team? Thanks in advance for any guidance or shared experience.

I'm currently experiencing the same issue as you. I’ve already gone through this twice — my app was approved in versions 1.0 and 1.1, but all the newer versions have been consecutively rejected. If you wait the full 7 days, the system will automatically treat your app as spam and reject it without a proper review. This issue can be identified when even your TestFlight beta builds or App Store submissions are delayed for 7 days, only to be rejected with the reason "Spam 4.3(A)". This has already happened to two of my apps. Now my third app is facing the same problem. I’ve contacted the support team via email and phone, but they’ve been very irresponsible — only giving vague, generic responses. Apple does not seem to value new developers. They clearly prioritize older, established ones. A company that claims to be professional is now proving its worth by moving backwards. My app ID 6744330283 is also affected just like yours. Despite having gained user trust and over $3,000 in purchases so far, my app is still labeled as spam — which is completely absurd.

I’m experiencing the same issue — for nearly a month now, all new versions I submit take over a week to get reviewed, and then they get rejected in just 10 seconds. It’s highly unusual. My App ID is 6744330283. Currently, I’m working with a lawyer representing my company to prepare for possible legal intervention. I don’t expect this to significantly affect Apple, but I do hope it encourages them to reconsider their current review process and adopt a more objective and fair approach for developers.

I received a notification that my account will be marked for deletion after 30 days, even though I have no connection or affiliation with any other account that was previously removed for violations. Apple claims that I am involved in manipulation or have links to a violating account, but I genuinely have no idea what this is about. My app was published on the App Store for over two months without issues. However, after submitting an update, it was suddenly rejected under Guideline 4.3 (Spam). All previous updates were approved normally, and I did not make any significant changes that would justify this rejection. I feel this is a misunderstanding and would appreciate clarification. I’m a legitimate developer and just want to understand what went wrong.

I experienced the same thing as you.
