App Store portfolio spam prevention
Apple can flag an entire developer account for portfolio spam – not just one app. A batch of similar submissions puts every title at risk. Catalog-wide analysis is the practical defense.
What portfolio spam means in practice
Portfolio spam happens when many apps under one account share binaries, metadata patterns, or functionality. Apple may reject new submissions and review existing apps together.
apporig compares every iOS project in your workspace so you catch template reuse before it becomes an account-level problem.
How bulk iOS teams reduce portfolio risk
Maintain a living similarity matrix across all apps. Scan weekly, rewrite high-overlap pairs, and avoid submitting two COPY-status apps in the same release window.
