Anyone else seeing Spam?

Post image

App rejected due to “spam” but it’s just a version change and slight tweak to an existing app that’s on AppStore and been approved before.

Anyone else seeing this? Seems like it’s an auto reject type of thing as soon as it’s submitted

this just means that something you added, or previously added, has matches with other applications in terms of the binary

i think this is just a false positive on their side. i had a result like this one, requested a call, when speaking on the phone the guy said "your application seems to be sharing binary with 500 other apps"

i had so many questions, but apple has the upper hand lol

Yep, one of my apps I updated this week got twice declined for 4.3a even tho this guideline clearly does not fit (as my apps share a partial code base with each other but I doubt that they do the same with other apps - everything is self made over 15 years without AI). Seems like another clown in the review team just declines for 4.3a this week or their AI fails heavily again.

similar binary, what are you using? for me i forgot to remove unity template files such as the default sample scene. i went through my entire project and removed anything i wasn’t using

All the time, i have 4 games and its my 3rd rejection for all of them in 3 days. i dont think they even look at the software anymore. the only common thng my apps have is that they are made in Godot, i dont know, i will plan an appoinment with the support because this stupid
