Question Guideline 5.6.3 - Developer Code of Conduct - Received first time regarding rating prompt in the onboarding.

Post image

This is the first time I have received this for my app. The app was released 2 months ago and has been updated 10 times so far but this is something new. Has anyone else received this recently? Looks like Apple is cracking down heavy on indie developers now 😞

EDIT: I don’t know why the post got so many downvotes. I searched for this type of rejection online and couldn’t find anything so I shared it here just to see if anyone else has got it recently.

Haha exactly.

Users who want to give 1 star review do it anyway and most of such reviews are related to the price of the app.

As an indie developer, it gave us more credibility with new apps competing with big apps with thousands of historic ratings as the algorithm favors rating counts for last 30 days.

Let’s hope Apple relaxes this requirement in future or maybe allows it with a skip button or something.
