Using apple textures in apps?

Would apple accept apps which use textures from there existing apps, like the wood from garageband etc?

They will not reject the app but it will get flagged for copyright if you upload an app containing apple textures or sounds to another app store etc. Google Play Store.

I don't know if they'd reject the app or not, but that's only a tangential matter to the more important issue that you'd be using someone else's content in your app.

Original content is best, content which you are licensed to use is also acceptable, but directly copying content from someone else's work to enhance your own is not acceptable.

If you're just mimicking the textures, then that's another matter. A bit more of a grey area in terms of arguing whether it's copying or not, and they may see it either way. (It's a lot more subjective.) But to "use textures from their existing apps" is a bad idea.
