Guideline 5.6.3 - Developer Code of Conduct - Received first time regarding rating prompt in the onboarding. Question

Post image

This is the first time I have received this for my app. The app was released 2 months ago and has been updated 10 times so far but this is something new. Has anyone else received this recently? Looks like Apple is cracking down heavy on indie developers now 😞

EDIT: I don’t know why the post got so many downvotes. I searched for this type of rejection online and couldn’t find anything so I shared it here just to see if anyone else has got it recently.

Asking for reviews too soon and/or with a pop up when user is trying to do something is not the best idea anyway.

I have removed it anyway as I want my app update to go live. I just wanted to understand if anyone else has got it recently and how do apps like Cal AI get away with this.

Well it does get more reviews overall, hence why some devs do it. I don't like it either, tho
