Ask HN: How to deal with App Store rejections?

4•high_byte•2d ago
My first submission to the Apple App Store has been rejected due to "Spam".

According to the guidelines: " - Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store - Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template - Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party - Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts "

I built my app 100% from scratch - including all code, media assets, design, copywriting. Everything was built by me. There is only one dependency which is the AI model weights which runs locally on device... can't expect those to be unique too!

I have only one submission in this one and only account.

I assume they automatically flagged the app's AI model weights - but that should not be flagged!

How can I handle this so I can eventually get my app approved?

Because they didn't even reference to any other similar apps. Does it even matter? The store is flooded with clones of TODO apps, calorie trackers, etc. I believe my app is actually unique.

if it’s rejected you can talk to them via the reply system built in to app store connect and explain the issue.

you could also load the weights from some backend on app load.

Is it possible to use the AI as an API or are you trying to embed a lightweight directly to save on cost?

You built it from scratch? According to your Twitter, you're not writing any code. You're not even reviewing it.
