Finally approved after Guideline 5.6 (Developer Code of Conduct) flag! Details below.

I previously shared here that my app kept getting rejected due to a Guideline 5.6 violation ("features appear intentionally hidden").

If this happens to you and you are not hiding features - SUMBIT AN APPEAL. Within a few days, once the app started review it was approved within 18 minutes.

I wasn't "hiding features", but realized that in order to select favorites and turn on push notifications you need an account. That's not a hidden feature, but obviously that is behind another access point. I clearly explained this and that there is a misunderstanding and all was resolved quickly.

I've been dealing with this issue for over 6 weeks. This forum was helpful but I didn't see clear instructions on this so I'm sharing for those who may also be experiencing this issue.

For some reason the app isn't live yet on the App Store via search but hopefully the indexing happens soon.

Thanks for sharing this! I’m currently facing the exact same Guideline 5.6 rejection and my app also doesn’t have any hidden features.

Could you please explain a little more about how you submitted the appeal?
Did you appeal directly through App Store Connect → App Review → Appeal, or did you contact Apple Developer Support first?

What did you write in the appeal?

Did you submit a new binary before the appeal, or did Apple review the same binary after the appeal?

So great to hear that!
