Independent developers building novel apps from scratch receive spam rejections from Apple's App Store review with no referenced comparable apps or specific policy violations cited. When the only dependency is locally-run AI model weights, the rejection criteria become entirely opaque. This blocks legitimate innovation and creates unpredictable publishing risk for solo developers.
