There is a ban on cloning icons in the App Store

Apple continues to fight the cloning of successful applications by unscrupulous developers. This time the icons were under the gun. 

According to the innovation, now the icon is subjected to a separate analysis before approving the application in the store. If the App Store censors recognize it as borrowed, then the developer will be denied the placement of the application. 

Some of the developers have already faced this problem. So, the developer Benjamin Maio was refused to publish the application due to the fact that its “icon seems similar” to the Clear task manager.

Apple has not made any official statements yet, so it is unknown whether this practice will become permanent.
