It appears that Apple Review has recently deployed a new spam operation, sending the following message.
Guideline 2.1 - Information Needed - New App Submission
We need additional information to better understand the app and complete the review.
Note: Before submitting, run the submitted build through your own testing and quality assurance process on supported physical devices. App Review is intended for apps and metadata that are complete and ready for App Store customers.
If the app is ready for review, follow the directions below.
Next Steps
Add all of the following information to the Notes field of the App Review Information section in App Store Connect and resubmit your app for Review:
- A screen recording captured on a physical device, running the latest operating system, demonstrating the app's functionality. The recording must begin with launching the app and show the typical user flow. If the app has any of the following, include them in the recording:
- Account registration, login, and account deletion flows. Account deletion is required in apps that support account creation.
- Any user-generated content, including the required content reporting and blocking mechanisms.
- Accessing paid content or features within the app.
- A description of the app's purpose and target audience, including the problem it solves and the value it provides
- Instructions for setting up and accessing the app's main features, including any required login credentials or sample files
- A list of the external services, tools, or platforms the app uses to deliver its core functionality (for example, data providers, authentication services, payment processors, or AI services)
- Describe any regional differences in the app’s features or content, or confirm that the app functions consistently across all regions
- If the app operates in a highly regulated industry or includes protected third-party material, provide any relevant documentation or credentials to demonstrate you are authorized to provide these services or protected material
Even when you have something like the following under App Review Information, they send it to harass you. Their ultimate goal is obviously to kill your will and to talk you out of sending a new submission for Review. It works. I have little interest in developing macOS applications and iOS apps. What they do disgusts me. I can't image who is involved in this harassment operation.
