Apple Rejection

Your app's metadata still includes content that is similar to designs or terms used for Apple products and services and may cause confusion for users. Specifically, your metadata includes:

- The following misspelling or a phonetically similar version of an Apple product name, Apple TV, in the app's name on device:

- atv```
I have scoured the entire project code, and the Xcode Project Manifest, and the 3 letters "ATV" DO NOT appear anywhere, and I can't get Apple to indicate why they have this problem

instead of putting it in a code block, maybe put it in a quote? (each line starts with > )

I had a hard time reading it.

Regardless:

Apple tends not to pay too much attention to what you tell them. They put me in limbo for a game for about a month, going back and forth, not listening to anything I said until I recorded a video showing me looking at the part they said didn’t exist.

And then they rejected it for a separate obscure reason, after which I [actions censored] with [actions censored] up [actions censored] and stopped trying. I couldn’t spend another month placating them.

Try burning one of your support requests on this perhaps? That’ll guarantee a human on their end tries to help you with the code before realizing that you didn’t break any rules.

I have asked them for an explanation 6 times so far… I DID find places where it “ATV” appeared, but removed every single one of them…

yea, i don’t think the rules are meant to go that far. They are either stalling or busy with other things. Try using one of your free support tickets to get help.

seems Apple Connect is not intutiive… I added a new version, but it submitted a 6 month old version for review… hope that is the problem…

No, it’s not intuitive. Its a god awful waste of time.

Connect isnt designed for single developers
More for teams where you have many devs and one manager & possibly others all doing some small piece of the process

Its unintuitive as hell

and I’ll bet 80% of the apps in the AppStore were in fact written by single developers

they are happy to parade that in WWDC, and happy to ignore it outside that
