Flagged with "Design - Spam"


So I submitted an iOS version of Clinko to Apple and I got rejected with the issue "Design - Spam".

"Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as other apps you already submitted to the App Store, with only minor differences."

I'm not sure if this is an automatic system check but I already replied that Clinko was indeed an original game, not a template and was not in anyway similar to any other games found in the App Store (or even games I've made in the past). A quick Google indicates that a lot of developers have also experienced this and no one got any accurate reply from Apple's App Review Team. Weird!

Anyway, I submitted an appeal so let's see how it goes. Hoping for positive results. 🙏

I just wanna release Clinko! 🥵
