Hello everyone, I’ve reached out to Apple’s review team multiple times, but unfortunately, I haven’t received any clear or specific guidance on why my app was rejected. My app has been rejected several times with the reason “Spam” under guideline 4.3, and I still don't understand exactly which part of the app is problematic. Even after providing the necessary information about the data, I resubmitted the app, and after a few days, it quickly moved into "In Review" status, but then was rejected within seconds with the same “Spam” message. I have sent over 13 messages asking for specific feedback, and all I get are vague responses saying “It’s spam, refer to 4.3, fix your app, and resubmit.” However, when I review the guidelines, I don’t see any specific reasons for rejection that apply to my app. I’m particularly confused because my app is a VPN, and when I check the guidelines, I see that apps in categories like dating and others are saturated, but VPN apps are not. My app uses completely dedicated servers, and the IP addresses are not found in any other apps. Still, my app keeps getting rejected. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has any insight into what might be causing this, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide detailed guidance on what specifically needs to be changed to get the app approved. Thank you!

When we are going to have a real analog clock option on the lock screen. If an apple watch can do it surely its not that difficult. For someone who uses a clock to tell what time it isn't as opposed to what time it is, i’m constantly having to convert a digital image where the image of hands on a dial is so much easier. Surely this isnt because someone has forgotten how to read a clock

Existing smartphones store multiple NFC card information. When the NFC antenna of the phone is close to the card reader, it is usually necessary to open the APP to select NFC card information or default to one card information to be transmitted to the card reader. It is not possible to quickly select or switch cards among multiple cards. For example, after using the NFC function to swipe the subway card, the phone needs to open the car access control and community access control again. It is necessary to open the mobile NFC card information management APP to select the community access control card and then swipe the mobile NFC access control, which causes inconvenience. （现有的智能手机存储多个 NFC 卡信息。当手机的NFC天线靠近读卡器时，通常需要打开APP选择NFC卡信息或默认一个卡信息传输到读卡器。无法在多张卡之间快速选择或切换卡。例如，使用NFC功能刷完地铁卡后，手机需要重新打开车内门禁和小区门禁。需要打开手机NFC卡信息管理APP选择社区门禁卡，然后刷手机NFC门禁，造成不便。） Divide the smartphone screen into multiple areas, and users can freely define corresponding NFC information for each area. When the screen is turned off and not unlocked, select NFC card information by pressing different screen areas with your fingers. When the mobile NFC is close to the card reader, the selected card information will be transmitted to the reader(将智能手机屏幕划分多个区域，每个区域手机用户可以自由定义对应NFC信息。在熄屏’不解锁的情况下，通过手指按压不同屏幕区域选择NFC卡片信息，手机NFC贴近读卡器时将选择的卡片信息传递给读卡器。) Below, the method will be further explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a utility model; Figure 2 is the flowchart of the present utility model; NFC reader, 2. Mobile screen partition, 3. NFC signal in Figure 1. In Figure 2, 1. Press the area of the screen partition with your finger. 2. Place the phone close to the NFC reader. 3. The phone senses the returned NFC signal. 4. The phone detects the pressed area.（ 下面结合附图和实施例对方法进一步说明。 图1为实用新型示意图； 图2为本实用新型流程图； 图1中1.NFC读取器，2.手机屏幕分区，3.NFC信号。 图2中1.手指按压屏幕分区的区域2.手机贴近NFC读取器3.手机感应到返回的NFC信号4.手机检测到按压的区域，5.是否检测到手机用户按压区域的动作，6.检测到按压区域，根据按压区域做出匹配相对应的NFC的动作7.选择用户所需的NFC卡8.NFC卡收到信息并发出卡片信息9.NFC读卡器收到NFC卡的信息。） For example, a smartphone user has N NFC virtual cards in their phone. Users can divide the smartphone screen into N areas, distinguished as A area, B area, C area..., each area controls different NFC. When a smartphone user holds down the B area that controls NFC (such as virtual access cards) and brings the phone close to the NFC card reader (such as access control). The mobile phone will sense NFC signals (access control signals), triggering the phone to detect the area that the user is pressing. There are two possibilities. Firstly, if the user's pressing action is not detected, the NFC card corresponding to the default A zone (set as the default here) will be selected. If the user's pressing action is detected and it is detected that the pressing is in Zone B (the partition corresponding to the access card), then the NFC information corresponding to Zone B is triggered. The smartphone receives this message, and the corresponding NFC sends out a card message. The NFC card reader (access control device) receives the message and reacts (door opens).（例如，一智能手机用户手机中有N个NFC虚拟卡。用户可以将智能手机屏幕分为N个区域，分辨为A区、B区、C区······，每个区域分别控制不同的NFC。当智能手机用户按住控制NFC（如虚拟门禁卡）的B区域并将手机靠近NFC读卡器（如门禁）。手机将会感应到NFC信号（门禁信号），触发手机检测用户正在按压的区域。有两种可能性，第一没有检测到用户的按压动作则选择默认的A区（这里把A区设为默认）所对应的NFC卡。第二检测到用户的按压动作并检测出按压的是B区域（门禁卡所对应的分区），则触发B区域所对应的NFC信息。智能手机收到此信息，相对应的NFC发出卡片信息，NFC读卡器（门禁设备）收到信息，做出反应（门打开）。） 图1 image1 图2 image2

Is it possible to modify or mark elements in the room plan model generated by the framework?

When I first tried to create a custom SF Symbol using Affinity Designer, I encountered difficulties because of two problems which have cumulated: SVG files created by Affinity Designer cannot be directly imported into the SF Symbols app because Affinity Designer totally recreates the content of tag <g id="Notes">, making so the file incompatible for later import into the SF Symbols app. So I had to manually fix that tag via a text editor in order to make the file compatible with the SF Symbols app. Because I was so focused on fixing manually the SVG file, I did not see that the actual content of my SVG file did not follow all Apple recommendations. As a consequence, I have posted this question on the forum: Struggling creating a custom SF Symbol: The provided variants are not interpolatable Finally I have found a way to create an SVG file compatible with SF Symbols using Affinity Designer, meeting the Apple recommendations, and at last perfectly suitable for further use in Xcode. You will find the solution in my reply to this post below which is actually a quasi copy/paste of my final own reply to my original post. Marc

Liquid Glass was introduced as a universal design language for all platforms, but isn't supported by visionOS 26 beta. For a small team creating a visionOS app targeted for release in fall 2026, should we focus our design work on Liquid Glass, or for the existing visionOS design language?

I am creating a Generate note app but I don't see the text in the button when I applied the MeshGradient. I removed the Mesh Gradient and text is there. Need some help to find the issue. I am new to app Development and I am learning how to use it. Below is the code: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var inputText: String = "" @State private var isLoading: Bool = false var body: some View { ZStack { Color(.systemGray6).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all) VStack (spacing: 20) { Text("Generate Notes") .font(.title) .fontWeight(.bold) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) Text("Transform your thoughts into well-structured notes using artificial intelligence.") .font(.subheadline) .foregroundStyle(.secondary) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) TextEditor(text: $inputText) .frame(height: 200) .padding() .background(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 16) .fill(Color(.systemGray6))) Button(action: {}) { HStack { if isLoading { ProgressView() .tint(.white) } else { Image(systemName: "sparkles") } Text(isLoading ?

Hi everyone, I’m new to macOS development and working on an app idea that needs a timeline-based editor interface, similar to what you see in Logic Pro or Final Cut. The UI I want to build would have: A horizontal beat ruler that follows BPM and shows beat positions Several vertical tracks stacked below it (for things like events or markers) Horizontal zooming and scrolling A preview panel on the right side that stays in sync with the timeline I’m currently trying this in SwiftUI, but I’m running into some limitations and wondering if AppKit would be a better fit, or maybe a hybrid of the two. My questions: Where should I start when building something like this? What’s the best way to make the beat ruler and all track layers scroll together? How should I handle zooming in/out and syncing the display to a BPM timeline? Is there a clean way to integrate AppKit for the timeline view while keeping SwiftUI elsewhere?

In Apple Vision Pro, I want to implement a HUD page similar to the one in Medivis' SuricalAR product (i.e. the UI is fixed on the screen field of view rather than in space). How should I do it?

I have been battling the new Icon Composer app for 2 days trying to build an app icon. However, I cannot get it to import any files. I have used the Apple provided App Icon Template. I have exported my layers to .svg and when I open the finder, everything is disabled. I can't find help for this anywhere. I am on Sequoia on my Mac and not sure how to design this app icon without access to the composer.

Hello, Im new to Xcode, ive been taking some classes and watching YouTube videos as well as using AI. Im having an issue I cannot find a video on, and AI just keeps screwing up my layout and sizing. Here is the issue, I have a Custom Made Image for my Sign In button, for my log in page on Xcode. The issue being that I can barely see the button and when I go to adjust the size the whole layout gets screwed up. My Logo Image (supposed to take up the top 50% of the screen) takes over the whole Botton of the screen and I loose my username and password Text threads and images. I guess my question is, is this an issue with the size of image ive uploaded or is this an issue with my code? I changed the size of the Image I created in Canva to 900pixles for the width and 300pixals for the height and that did absolutely nothing to my image in Xcode. Below is the Button and Create Account section in my code that seems to be having issues. Ppppplease help me. var body: some View { NavigationStack(path: $navigationPath) { ZStack { // Background image Image("Background1") .resizable() .scaledToFill() .ignoresSafeArea() .clipped() // Main content ScrollView { VStack(spacing: 20) { // Logo Image("DynastyStatDropLogo") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .padding(.top, -160) .padding(.bottom, -30) // Form elements // Username field ZStack { Image("UsernameBar") .resizable() .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fill) .padding() TextField("UserName:", text: $textInput) .padding(.horizontal, 75) .background(Color.clear) .foregroundColor(.red) .focused($focus, equals: .username) .submitLabel(.next) .onSubmit { focus = .password } } .frame(height: 50) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10)) .padding(.horizontal) // Password field and Forgot Password link VStack(spacing: 20) { ZStack { Image("PasswordBar") .resizable() .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fill) .padding() SecureField("Password:", text: $textInput2) .padding(.horizontal, 75) .background(Color.clear) .foregroundColor(.red) .focused($focus, equals: .password) .submitLabel(.go) .onSubmit { submitForm() } } .frame(height: 50) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10)) .padding(.horizontal) // Forgot Password link (right-aligned) HStack { Spacer() Text("Forgot Password?") .foregroundColor(.blue) .onTapGesture { navigationPath.append("passwordRecovery") } } .padding(.horizontal, 90) } Spacer(minLength: -110) // SignIn Button - Explicitly showing it HStack { Spacer() Button { submitForm() } label: { Image("signinButton") .resizable() .frame(width: 500, height: 400) } Spacer() } Spacer(minLength: -300) // Create Account (centered) HStack { Spacer() Text("Create Account") .foregroundColor(.blue) .onTapGesture { navigationPath.append("accountCreation") } Spacer() } .padding(.bottom, -10) } } } .onAppear { focus = .username } .navigationDestination(for: String.self) { destination in switch destination { case "dashboard": DSDDashboard() case "passwordRecovery": PasswordRecoveryView() case "accountCreation": AccountCreationView() default: EmptyView() } } .alert(isPresented: $showAlert) { Alert( title: Text("Missing Information"), message: Text("Enter UserName and Password to continue to DSD"), dismissButton: .default(Text("OK")) ) } } } // Function to handle form submission func submitForm() { focus = nil if textInput.isEmpty || textInput2.isEmpty { showAlert = true } else { print("Login with username: \(textInput), password: \(textInput2)") navigationPath.append("dashboard") } } // Enum to manage focus states enum FormFieldFocus: Hashable { case username, password } }

Hi Apple developer community. I have a question a lot of users don’t like the new control center and notification center. Are you guys gonna blur the background or are you guys gonna keep it the same?

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble getting the new glassEffect() modifier to render correctly in SwiftUI. No matter what I try, it just appears as a solid white background (instead of translucent glass). This happens both in Beta 1 and Beta 2. My setup: • Mac mini (M4 chip) • macOS 26 Beta 2 (Tahoe) • Xcode 26 Beta 2 • Samsung Odyssey G9 57” monitor (super ultrawide) • Using Preview in SwiftUI, I use IOS 26 Beta 2 (not the Simulator) Even when I use Apple’s default demo code like: Text("Hello World") .padding() .glassEffect()

I like this font. but in license only allowed for use in Mockup UI. Feel free to use in commercial? https://mobbin.com/apps/bloom-ios-e1251835-34e6-426e-9f94-f9595f2567fa/1c919e9a-d144-4aa0-b788-f9752111e281/screens

Our application was first published on December 16, 2012, at 11:42 PM, and has been available on the market for 13 years. Over the years, we have implemented hundreds of updates to enhance and refine the app. Our recent updates are rejected for the reason "Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam" warning. How can it be for a 13 years old app. Please advice me what to do. Thanks in advance

Hi community, I have a question regarding MusicKit, is it necessary to follow a design guideline to integrate this framework into my App? Also, when no music is reproducing in MusicKit which placeholder we should show, do you provide the resource? Or can we create our own placeholder? Thanks for all, David.

Hello, You are developing iOS 26. I hope you will fix the issue where the AṀ/PM is missing from the Time Display. Thanks
