4.3(a) on a new app, approved a month later after a demo video
What they posted
June 3: Apple rejected my app as spam (4.3a) :( July 4: approved. One month of fighting. I did an appeal that did absolutely nothing. What worked was guessing what they called spam and resubmitting with a demo video showing why my app stands out from the competition.
