Hi,
I designed and created 2 apps to help protect 2 dying languages. One is Sonny Goes to School for the Osage Nation in US and the other is Maskosis Goes To School for Samson Cree Nation in Alberta Canada. The concept is similar and the animations are similar. We use the same characters that we drawn for the first project (Maskosis) and reuse them for the 2nd project (Sonny). We now need to update the apps so they can be used on newer devices. However the app review team kept rejected the updates saying we are spaming the app store. They advice us to "submit a unique app with distinct content and functionality."
To recreate all the animations would be very very expensive. I do not know how to proceed, does anyone have any ideas?
I attached part of their reply below. No matter how I explain myself, they just kept replying back saying I am spam...
"Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam
Issue Description
We noticed the app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences.
Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps.
Next Steps
Since we do not accept spam apps on the App Store, we encourage you to review the app concept and submit a unique app with distinct content and functionality. "
