Reply to Unbelievable: 2 App Store rejections, ZERO uses of our app's main feature. What would you do - appeal or resubmit?
It has happened to many people because Apple, Inc. has been on a peudo-spam-combat crusade based on falsehoods for the past several months. I get a spam call every single time I submit a new app to App Store Connect these days. We are all little people and powerless individually. I encourage you to file a complaint with FTC ( https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ ).

Reply to Resubmitted app still “Waiting for Review” after six days — correct escalation path?
What exactly am I paying for if I can’t get either submission reviewed? Accrding to Apple Developer Program License Agreement, they do not guarantee that your submission will be reviewed within a certain period. It doesn't even say that it will be reviewed fairly. The treatment you get, accrding to the Agreement, is sole discretion.

Reply to Apple Developer Program Membership Terminated Despite Transparent Simulation App Disclosures — No Meaningful Response to Appeals
I may also share my experience on Reddit so that other developers facing similar situations can learn from it. I see everyday there somebody instigating an honest-review exchange. There are a lot of people who deserve to get their decveloper account terminated, by the way. Since you don't disclose what you have done to get yours suspended, you can only help yourself.

Reply to Every new app rejected under 4.3 / 4.2.6 in the same minute, twice, even after redesigning the game
When unrelated apps get identical rejections in the same minute and a redesigned game gets the same default message, does that mean a flag on the developer account rather than on each app? That's Apple, Inc's latest approach in tackling a surge in the number of software submissions. Instead of increasing reviewers, they are on a mission to discourage you to sumbit apps. They accept your annual membership fee. But they refuse to review your submissions, accusing you of copying and repackaging someone else's work. When you don't even use an SDK, they accuse you of using a commercial template or a 3rd-party SDK. The 5-trillion dollar software giant is totally out of hand. We are all little people. FTC is not going to step in to stop Apple's unethical conduct based on falsehoods. But stock holders must love it.

I couldn't quite understand what you are referring to. The app description and keywords are available. That's between you and Apple, Inc. You seek assistance from fellow app developers here. But you provide little information here surrounding your situation beyond the fact that it's been rejected.

Reply to Two of my apps are not reviewing for more than 30 days, other apps are reviewed in 24 hr: No response at developer support
we wait 9 days only to be rejected for a minor issue, then wait another 9 days, only to be rejected again for a different minor reason—essentially waiting 9 days for fixes that only took 2 hours to implement. I've been in this business for more than 15 years. It doesn't happen to me. If my submission is rejected, in many cases, it's their mistake. If you don't have a lot of experience going through the review process, you may want to create a submission checklist for yourself.
