APPLE REVIEW IS ARBITRARY, HYPOCRITICAL & UNFAIR — AVOID AS AN INDEPENDENT DEV
Subject: Case ID 20000124675534 — Formal Complaint & Final Position on Appeal APL523113 Hello, Reference: Case ID 20000124675534 | Appeal Ticket APL523113 I am escalating this formally — this situation is completely unacceptable. My app has been rejected repeatedly, inconsistently, and without proper explanation, then I’m told to fundamentally redesign it when I’ve done absolutely nothing wrong. I will NOT redesign my app. You’ve acknowledged my app contains original, distinguishing functionality — proprietary tools no competitor offers — yet you still reject it under Guideline 4.3(b) claiming "there are already enough dating apps available." That is NOT a published guideline. That is arbitrary gatekeeping, pure and simple. Meanwhile the App Store stays flooded with outdated, abandoned, and outright scam apps that remain live — while my professionally built, original product gets blocked. That is hypocrisy, double standards, and a total failure of your review process. I am taking this personally now. I pay for the Apple Developer Program expecting fair, consistent review. Instead I get boilerplate, contradictions, and made-up rules applied only to me. Get this properly reviewed and approved — OR REFUND MY DEVELOPER PROGRAM FEE IN FULL. If you cannot provide the fair service I pay for, you keep none of my money. I expect a human response, not another automated.
