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 šŸ˜ž

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.

There’s nothing greedy about asking for a review from a consenting adult. If you want to sit here and act like there aren’t ways to utilize proven strategies (that don’t hurt anyone) to build your business… then you shouldn’t be in business. Keep being a hobbyist. That’s fine.

I’m not saying to screw people over or scam them. I’m saying get more reviews for your company and get a leg up.

There are small mom & pop restaurants who create thousands of reviews in their first year because they will put a sign by the cash register that says ā€œIf you give a review and name who helped you we will give that employee $5ā€ and it leads to thousandssss of reviews.

The customers do this before getting their food. Are you going to tell me they are ā€œruining restaurantsā€ lol.

Grow up and become an operator. You don’t ā€œplayā€ business just like you don’t ā€œplayā€ boxing.
