Rejection due to Guideline 4.3(a)

How do I overcome the challenge of getting my app rejected because of Guideline 4.3(a) design spam on Apple?

Was your app rejected because of Guideline 4.3(a) design spam? This guideline is in place to ensure every app on the App Store is unique in terms of content and design. If your app has been rejected due to this guideline, here are some steps you can take –

  • Change your app’s current layout by rearranging existing sections, adding banners, and shuffling content placement.

  • Publish unique content within your app. Avoid publishing any form of derivative content that may already exist in some form on other iOS apps.

  • Avoid publishing any kind of spammy content or products within your app.

Rejection due to Guideline 4.3(a) can happen due to many reasons depending on your specific use case. To overcome this rejection, try out different design layouts and content updates before your app is finally approved. This usually takes time as the reason for your app’s rejection is not specified clearly.
