Why Apple Rejected My App Under Guideline 5 (Legal) in China
Apple rejected my app under App Store Review Guideline 5 – Legal, citing local regulatory requirements in mainland China related to generative AI and deep synthesis technologies.
This rejection was not caused by a bug or implementation issue, but by regional legal compliance.
What Apple Flagged During Review According to Apple’s review feedback, the app was associated with ChatGPT / OpenAI, which currently does not have the required permits to operate in China.
