Here is another one:
Application submission: Drop Height, measures the height from which you drop your iPhone.
First response mail, feb 18, one week after submission: requiring unexpected additional time for review.
Second response mail, may 10:
We cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the app store at this time because it encourages a physical activity that could result in a customer damaging their iPhone. We have chosen not to publish this type of application to the App Store.
I am an iPhone Developer and agree with Apple on this one. I can not see how this can be used against Apple as a horrible company rejecting applications for bad reasoning on their part – not this one. As soon as I read the description “Application submission: Drop Height, measures the height from which you drop your iPhone, “my thoughts were already those of Apples at the bottom of the post.
Over the past 3 days we’ve had a few of our apps rejected for this same reason “minimal user functionality” but today takes the cake!
Apple rejected our Pledge of Allegiance app which lets you solute a US flag inside the app along with recite the pledge at the same time (written out). It also gives a bit of history and etiquette to follow while performing the pledge in public or private -
Apparently Apple doesn’t think it’s worth distributing a “simple” yet decent app based on our Country’s heritage in their app store.
While we are already working on adding some sort of other functionality to get it approved, I feel like Apple has gotten too big for their britches!
We have several other apps already published and have played by their rules for a year on-going.
