We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences.
Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps.
Next Steps
Since we do not accept spam apps on the App Store, we encourage you to review your app concept and submit a unique app with distinct content and functionality.
Resources
Some factors that contribute to a spam rejection may include:
- Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store - Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template - Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party - Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts

Guideline 2.3.1 - Performance
We noticed that your app may contain hidden features, functionality, or content.
Specifically, your app contains functionality to load a webview of external content within the app for the purpose of third-party game streaming.
The App Store ecosystem is built on trust and users should never be misled about the apps they download. Attempting to hide features, functionality, or content in your app may lead to removal from the Apple Developer Program.
Next Steps
- Review the Performance section of the App Store Review Guidelines. - Ensure your app, as well as any third-party code and SDKs in your app, are compliant with all sections of the App Store Review Guidelines and the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. - Revise or remove any hidden features, functionality, or content in your app. - Once your app is fully compliant, resubmit for review.
If you feel that we have misunderstood how your app functions and that your app is compliant with the App Store Review Guidelines, please reply to this message in App Store Connect to explain how this feature works.
The next submission of this app may require a longer review time.

Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage
We noticed that your app requests the user’s consent to access the AppTrackingTransparency framework, but doesn’t sufficiently explain the use of the AppTrackingTransparency framework in the purpose string.
The purpose string on the App Tracking Transparency permission request should explain to users why you are tracking them across apps and websites owned by other companies and include a specific example of how you will use the data you collect for tracking purposes.
Next Steps
Please revise the purpose string in your app’s Info.plist file for the AppTrackingTransparency framework to explain why your app needs access and include an example of how the user's data will be used.
You can modify your app's Info.plist file using the property list editor in Xcode.
