A comprehensive guide to address common app store issues like account associations, 4.3 design rejections, and deceptive content policy violations on iOS and Google Play in UK.
Navigating the app submission process can be a daunting task for developers, with challenges like policy rejections, account suspensions, and app removals frequently arising on the iOS App Store and Google Play.
This FAQ-based guide aims to simplify these hurdles by addressing common issues—such as account association risks, iOS 4.3 rejections, and Google Play’s deceptive behavior policies—while providing actionable solutions to help you secure approval for your app.
Account association is a frequent trigger for suspensions and often occurs due to reused registration data, such as emails, payment credentials, or phone numbers across multiple accounts. It can also stem from overlapping IP addresses or devices during account setup, as well as similarities in app code, SDKs, interfaces, or legal entities—like shared D-U-N-S numbers on Google Play.
Preventative measures include:
Strategies that often resolve 4.3a rejections include:
Google Play flags deceptive behavior when apps feature misleading descriptions, images, or functionality claims. This can include fake reward systems promising payouts like "Earn $80 in 50 minutes" without delivery, imitation of system notifications, or keyword spamming in metadata.
A suspension typically blocks new app submissions, so start by thoroughly reviewing the policy violation notice in the enforcement email. Prepare a comprehensive appeal with evidence of corrections and a clear explanation of changes made. For better outcomes, consider submitting your appeal via email or phone in English, as these channels often yield higher success rates.
To enhance your chances of approval, establish a fresh developer account tied to a legitimate business entity and submit your app from a new device with no prior account activity. Use a unique, original IP address—ideally residential or static—and overhaul your app’s codebase, UI, and domain configurations to eliminate similarities with previous submissions.
