#2I wonder what Apple hopes to achieve by following a policy of no Android-related content on the iOS app store.
It's not as if it will prevent people from learning about Android's existence.

#3Up next ... they're going to ban chrome and any app with a webview because you can access Android content! I am of course being facetious, but it sucks.

#4Link-bait title from an obvious splog network about a company looking for any kind of PR.
From whom is that quote originating? Where is Apple's rejection letter? Which section of App Store guidelines they specifically violated?

Treehouse itself was quoted in the post about Apple not allowing Android content.

#6What guideline is being broken? If there isn't a good reason (and I really struggle to think what it might be), this is just anti-competitive censorship.
Edit: On the other hand, this seems so ridiculous that I need to question if it's accurate. Can Treehouse provide some proof that Apple said they can't have Android courses available in their app?

But "Treehouse" is a company. Usually a human at a company sends an email. Who in Treehouse sent that update? Because then we can ask him/her what section of App Store guidelines they were supposedly violating.

#8Oh Apple... I lost the faith in the Apple's benevolent power when it was revealed during the conspiracy case that Apple bullied Random House[1] into a contract by blocking their iOS apps from the App Store. This move against a teaching app just disillusions more of us developers

Considering that Apple has rejected books for containing links to competing websites, this isn't really a stretch.

#10I would like to get an official statement by either company before I jump to conclusions. I seem to recall someone at google claiming that Apple had not yet approved the Maps app and it wasn't even submitted yet. Apple used to do a lot of sketchy stuff like this, so we all assume it's true. But until I see something official, then I'll hold judgement.
