I don't even know who that guy or app is. I don't want to waste my time. I have already wasted weeks because of this shit.
I have same problem there and after I read Apple forums, Reddit and many other boards I understand one thing - when Apple see that you try to submit app which they consider saturated they will reject you, no matter what you do or change on app. If you got answer from one review guy, next time in review you will get new one and that guy will work by a script - see app, check it, there is few similars apps, deny it. And there is no help with that. I change app content, added new features, new icon, screenshots and nevermind, I got reject every time.
Yeah bro, I understand that, but my app is not new. It is 2-3 years old. It got approved 20+ times in updates previously. They are literally preventing me from UPDATING an app....
That doesn't seem to make sense. You said previously it turned out someone else was stealing your screenshots, how do you know that if you don't know who it is? I assumed you'd seen the app with your screenshots on it otherwise how would you know..? Seems like you could have saved weeks by just reporting that app.

Very strange man! I think some employees send it back without checking. I imagine that nowadays with AI the number of apps they have to check has increased considerably.Update (here again, this time in the right thread
They finally approved the update. Man, this was nasty. I spent 3 weeks guessing whats wrong with my app and app store description.
The problem is: The rejection is really vague. They say:
And this can many a lot of things. It just leaves you guessing. Is the UI the problem? The binary code? one specific feature? The app title?
I improved my entire app, changed its design, changed its branding, added new features, onboarding, paywall, etc. but NONE of that was ever the problem. According to them, the screenshots were the problem. Specifically, as they write: "metadata". The metadata includes the title, keywords, app description, subtitle and the screenshots.
After every rejection I asked them: Whats the exact problem? can you be a bit more specific? but they just kept copy and pasting the same reason above until I requested a call with them.
I mean, it is also in their interest to fix this problem as soon as possible. I believe they have a lot of things to do, many apps to review. I don't know why they wouldn't just say the exact reason. I mean, lets be honest, the guys are looking at something specific and say "Nope, he didn't change it - rejection". Sometimes the app review took 15 minutes until they rejected it. So they were definitely looking at ONE specific thing they wanted me to change, I just had no idea what it was.
Not yet, but will do in the following days. Right now want to finish another app
Yes.
Yeah, the problem is they are really vague in what they say. It can literally be anything. I changed almost every aspect of my app, spent 5 days working on it and then these guys just say "yeah, actually the screenshots are the problem"
No you said you wasted weeks on this already and you said you found that someone had stolen your screenshots....you seem a bit confused now I have to say.
You really think apple would give him the company/app that stole the screenshots?
First, focus on the app itself and the flow. Currently, I downloaded the app "Moonshot" and this app doesn't have many features, but the UX and the UI is awesome.
That doesn't make sense on any level. He said himself that someone else was stealing his screenshots so why would he ask them for the app name? If he knows it's happening then he must obviously already know which app it is otherwise what in tf is that statement based on....
