最近上传了一个新的APP,是跟电子处方有关的,奇葩的是这次没接到电话,纯邮件沟通,拖了一个星期,审核通过了。
以下是沟通过程总结:
第一次被拒,理由通常是一样的
通常第一次被拒,理由都是一样的,说是账号主体问题,是指APP内部的没有显示开发者账号主体的名称,被认为说提供服务的不是开发APP的这家公司,有侵权的嫌疑。从后续沟通看,这其实不是重点。

Guideline 5.2.1 - Legal - Intellectual Property
The seller and company names associated with your app do not reflect the name of the medical institution in the app or its metadata, as required by Guideline 5.2.1 of the App Store Review Guidelines.
Next Steps
Your app must be published under a seller name and company name that reflects the name of the medical institution. If you have developed this app on behalf of a client, please advise your client to add you to the development team of their Apple Developer account. If your client does not yet have an Apple Developer account, they can enroll in the Apple Developer Program through the Apple Developer portal.
Note that submitting documentation showing permission to publish this app on behalf of the content owner or institution will not resolve this issue. This app must be submitted under the content owner’s own Apple Developer account.
To request a fee waiver for nonprofit organizations, accredited educational institutions, or U.S.-based government entities, follow the steps outlined on the Apple Developer Program Membership Fee Waivers page.
Once created, you cannot change your seller name or company name in App Store Connect. For assistance with changing your company name or seller name, you will need to contact us. Select Membership and Account to request an update to your Apple Developer account information.
Please see attached screenshot for details.

准则5.2.1 - 法律 - 知识产权
根据App Store审核指南的指南5.2.1的要求,与您的应用相关联的卖家和公司名称没有反映应用中医疗机构的名称或其元数据。
下一步
您的应用必须以反映医疗机构名称的卖家名称和公司名称发布。 如果您代表客户开发了此应用程序,请建议您的客户将您添加到其Apple Developer帐户的开发团队。 如果您的客户还没有Apple Developer帐户,他们可以通过Apple Developer门户注册Apple Developer Program。
请注意,提交代表内容所有者或机构发布此应用程序的权限的文档无法解决此问题。 此应用必须在内容所有者自己的Apple Developer帐户下提交。
要申请非营利组织,认可的教育机构或美国政府机构的费用减免,请按照Apple开发者计划会员费豁免页面上列出的步骤进行操作。
创建后,您无法在App Store Connect中更改卖家名称或公司名称。 如需更改公司名称或卖家名称的帮助,您需要与我们联系。 选择会员和帐户以请求更新Apple Developer帐户信息。
有关详情,请参阅随附的屏幕截图。
鉴于之前的经验,申请要客服电话。

过了一个周末,审核通过了!啊哈!
总结几点:
1.苹果回复邮件的时间一般是你发邮件的第二天,而且是凌晨几点,毕竟有时差,打电话估计是行不通了;
2.不要被他的一堆条款给吓着,第一次回复的就是找个理由而已,抱着肯定能过的心态积极回复;
3.苹果官方说的那些问题,其实不是要你提供什么资质,营业许可证之类的,就是要你把功能说清楚就可以了;
4.以上邮件也可以看出来,其实我们并没有提供什么额外的信息,就提供了一个演示视频,把功能演示了一遍;
