#2> I literally haven’t changed the text in my marketing description in many months.
After 5 years in the App Store, and having my app featured in the Accessibility section, we were flagged for a characteristic that had remained unchanged since launch. In almost every case, our rejections were not related to newly-added features.

#5Update from original tweeter:
> Long story short: Two features (one from iOS 12, one from iOS 16), and one name: Continuity Camera.

#6TL;DR Apple re-used the term "Continuity Camera", which now applies to both a preexisting feature from iOS 12 and a prerelease feature in iOS 16. The app's description refers to the preexisting feature, but app review metadata-rejected the app anyway.
Also, app review initially neglected to mention the specific problem, instead simply hand-waving about the rule against mentioning prerelease features.

You'd think this should be something they'd check for one way or another...

#8Would it have killed Apple to highlight the offending words in the original review?

#10Getting rejected on Google Play sucks, but at least you can still sideload apps while you dispute it. Getting rejected by Apple should be illegal until they provide a way to use an alternative app store.
