Does not "accidentally" contain such material, e.g. unrestricted web browsing, explicit lyrics, unfiltered collections of books. Is that still true? That is, they will still reject a new e-book reader because it can read the Kama Sutra, and they would still reject an app that allowed the user to navigate to a porn site? I have the Wikipedia app installed, which I think would violate those terms.

#62I've got one you can add: iPad applications don't have to support all four orientations. However, whichever orientation you do support (in our instance, portrait) you must support the top-up and bottom-up variations unless some special circumstance warrants only supporting one or the other. Just had a submission rejected earlier this week for this reason. FYI, here is the response we received from Apple: 10.1 We foun…
Is there not an easy way to just say "turn my app upside down when the user flips the device"? For most apps (i.e. ones that don't use the accelerometer, etc.) this should be trivial, and shouldn't require any real effort from the app developer. Also, I agree with Apple that both orientations should be supported. Depending on how you're holding or docking the device, and where it's convenient for the headphone jack t…

#63If you are using Appirater or any other service that uses your app ID for something. Make real real sure you are using the right ID for your app.
Easy to mess up on new apps.

#64"e.g. Images and icons are not framed with a "polaroid" style (thicker at the bottom) border" Can someone give me an example of a Polaroid border? Is it just a frame around an image?
It's a fat white border around the image. A variation of this often imitates a photo stack each having such frame. Google images keywords: polaroid frame, polaroid stack. Sample: http://blog.simplyjean.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/polaro... What's interesting that this wouldn't be allowed, I think there's many apps using this framing style in the app store already.

#65Here's one to add: if your app has a in-app purchase of more than $100, your app HAS to be rated 18+ because of a fear of teenagers can run up their parents' credit card bills. It's somewhat unfair because 18+ means adult content, but an app might not contain adult content (as was the case with our client's self-help books/videos).

#66Any mention of my personal hero Chuck Norris is also an instant rejection. :( I even tried a little s/Chuck Norris/Nuck Chorris/g but to no avail. http://bit.ly/oHvY1b

Inkling is rated 12+ and seems to have more than one >$100 in-app purchase. (e.g. the Biology text @ $120 and Supply Chain Management Text @ $140)

#70Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks. Updated.
Also maybe consider dropping: > App state is saved when stopping the app and restored on next start I believe you get this for 'free' with IOS 4 and greater, as the app now never stops, it just suspends to the background when you switch between apps.
