How does Apple determine if an update is a bug fix or a new submission?

  No new features, it just fixes bugs? Bugs being broken existing code. This was a big complaint that DHH was making for the Hey email app. Hey couldn't push a new bug fix update in the timeframe it took to mitigate an existing complaint regarding outside subscriptions. So they had to keep a buggy app in the App Store in the meantime.

  I’m guessing the way this is going to work in practice is an update would be allowed if it contains a violation but the violating behavior is substantially the same as the existing version but had not previously been flagged. New violating behaviors and existing violations behaviors that had previously been flagged would prevent the update from being approved.

  Probably by what you write in the release notes during submission.

  Automatically by edit distance?
