App Store & Google Play compliance guides

Store rejections for duplicate or template code waste release slots and revenue. These guides explain policy risks and how structural code analysis reduces surprises for bulk iOS and Android publishers.

Policy areas that map to code similarity

App Store Guideline 4.3 (Design: Spam), portfolio spam warnings, Google Play repetitive content policy, and duplicate app detection all correlate with structural overlap in your source code — not just metadata or screenshots.

  • Portfolio spam prevention

Recovery after a rejection

Upload the rejected app plus all siblings in your catalog. Identify COPY modules, rewrite, rescan for OK status, and attach apporig reports to your appeal or resubmission notes in App Store Connect or Play Console.

FAQ

Can code checks prevent App Store 4.3 rejections?
Proactive analysis reduces risk by finding duplicate Swift/Objective-C structure before submission. Many 4.3 rejections cite similar binaries — rewriting flagged modules is the fix.
Does apporig help with Google Play spam policy?
Yes. Compare Kotlin/Java across your Android catalog to find shared domain layers that trigger repetitive content flags.
