App Store review has twice now rejected our app, but everything they claim is not true.
We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences.
Not true. There's one other app with similar functionality (which I learned about after opening our TestFlight), but the apps are different enough, and there's room in the world for two apps to tackle a similar user need.
Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps.
Repackaged is certainly not true.
Some factors that contribute to a spam rejection may include:
Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store
Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template
Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party
Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts
None of these bullets apply to us, we are doing none of these things.
I have begged in my replies for them to explain to me what they say our app is too similar to, but so far they're not forthcoming.
What to do?
