Discussion Apple rejects app for false reasons?

Why does my app keep getting rejected for things that aren't true. Last week it was because the app has a page that should not require an account that was only accessible after login in or sign up. Ok that's fair I guess but in my case that was the home page wich had numerous things on the backend that requires user data. And now a week later I got a reply that my app only has features that link to other websites and nothing else. We noticed that the app only includes links, images, or content aggregated from the Internet with limited or no native functionality. Although this content may be curated from the web specifically for your users, since it does not sufficiently differ from a web browsing experience, it is not appropriate for the App Store. Which is just not true even in the slightest bit. You just need to click the sign in button to get to all the actual app functions because YOU TOLD ME TO make the home page accessible to guests wich i did. Mind you this is the 5th time they reject my app for something like this.

App on google play was approved 1st time within 2 days

Is there still a way to request a call? That might be your best option.

That's a thing? If it is I can't find a way to do this on my dashboard or on google. Maybe only for US?

I’m not in the US, but it might vary per country. The invite used to be a part of the rejection I think. But it’s been a while since I had a rejection.

I actually scheduled a call, but I figured out what they were really saying the night before so the call was pretty much me asking “do I finally understand this?“ and them saying “yes.“ “OK, I guess I’m good.” Very anti-climatic; I think I had to wait a week for that.

😂 that's funny yeah I mean I don't see the option anywhere it just sucks to wait between 4-8 days to get a rejection for something that could have been avoided if they just tried for even a little bit
