Guideline 4.3(b) - Design - SpamApp rejected under 4.3(b) after following all guidance from Meet with Apple appointment — need specific direction
I built a relationship and dating app called Kolly — something that genuinely didn't exist in this form on the App Store. It includes date ideas, compatibility quizzes, games, an AI companion, and a personal Love CV. Astrology is part of it because astrology is a natural part of modern dating culture — but this is a relationship app, not an astrology app. After my first rejection under 4.3(b), I attended a Meet with Apple appointment. I was explicitly told: "astrology being present is not the problem — being an astrology app is the problem." I was advised to reposition as a relationship app and add more relationship features. I did exactly that. I resubmitted. Same copy-pasted rejection email. No new feedback. My replies go unanswered. I am forced to keep resubmitting blindly because I have no other option. I followed every instruction I was given and I still have no clear path to approval. I am a small independent developer. I have investors waiting. I have spent months and significant money on this. The process feels completely opaque — I can't help but wonder if larger companies with connections get a different experience. Has anyone successfully resolved a 4.3(b) rejection for an app that includes astrology as one feature among many? What actually worked?
