Seeking Advice on Repeated 4.3(b) Spam Rejection for a Custom Marketplace App
Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice from developers who have successfully navigated Guideline 4.3(b) Spam concerns. I've been building a custom marketplace platform called Goddess Destiny Psychics. The app includes custom advisor onboarding, advisor applications, identity verification, Stripe Connect onboarding, recorded readings, live chat functionality, advisor review workflows, admin moderation tools, automated approval/rejection processes, and a custom advisor evaluation system. My first submission was rejected under 4.3(b). A later submission also included a functionality concern, which I addressed. On my most recent submission, the functionality concern was no longer present, but the app was again rejected under 4.3(b). I've submitted an appeal because I believe the app contains substantial custom functionality and differs significantly from a simple template-based app. Has anyone successfully appealed a 4.3(b) rejection for a marketplace or service-based app? If so, what information was most helpful in demonstrating that your app was sufficiently differentiated? The review was completed in a relatively short amount of time, which left me concerned that some of the app's workflows may not have been fully evaluated. Thank you for any insights.

First App Submission Still Waiting for Review – What Are Current Review Times?
Hi everyone, This is my first app submission to the App Store, and I'm curious about current review timelines. My app has been sitting in "Waiting for Review" and I'm trying to get a better idea of what others are experiencing right now. I know review times can vary depending on the app and workload, but I'd love to hear some recent experiences. For those who have submitted apps recently: • How long did it take to move from Waiting for Review to In Review? • How long did the full review process take? • Did you receive approval over the weekend, or mostly during weekdays? I'm not having any issues with the submission itself and haven't received any messages from Apple. Just trying to gauge what the current wait times look like. Thanks in advance! 😊📱🍎
