My personal favorite reason for rejection is "Your big icon doesn't match the little icon". I've gotten that twice so far.
The worst I have had is because I used a SIMILAR font and style to a well known tv show, in a quiz about that tv show.
This was the state of the AppStore over a year ago and I've continued to hear the same story from various sources month over month. It's not really a surprise anymore, so it begs the question of whether or not they did research. They should complete this blog post and make it a Top 10 Reasons Why Not To Develop for the AppStore . The four bullet points are scratching the surface of many issues that compound into a on…
and to add on to the dev hurdle, you must code in obj-c and have a mac. I am sure there are ways around the mac part, but limiting the target language already discourages many devs from building apps for the iphone. i myself am slowly becoming an android fan (ASE - http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/FAQ )
Ain't Android limiting you to Java only, while for iPhone you can develop in any language which can be compliled into ARM ELF object file and linked by ld ? Beside the UI part of course. I hate developing for iPhone too cause Obj-C is not a language, it is a piece of messy crap! It makes code look like spaghetti. I receive a great pleasure developing for Android, yet Java is far from the language of my choice though…
Objective-c is great, much better than java or c# if you ask me.
Are you sure you actually program for Android, you seem to be missing quite a bit of knowledge.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Apple makes it pretty clear to developers that trademarked terms are not to be used in keywords. It's not illegal to smoke indoors. But if you smoke inside my house, I will ask you to leave. Do you have a problem with that?
If you're all smiles one moment, and throw a temper tantrum about it the next... then completely forget about it five minutes later... or if you call me 2 weeks later to complain that I smoked at your house... or if you kick me out while someone else is using your couch as an ashtray... then I would probably stop visiting, anyway.
Maybe you should just not put other companies' copyrighted game names in your keywords. It sounds like Apple is purposefully slowing you down because they consider you to be malicious.

No, you can program in almost any language for Android, a change that was added about 3 months ago. Objective-c is great, much better than java or c# if you ask me. Are you sure you actually program for Android, you seem to be missing quite a bit of knowledge.
The point was not that he used Wii as a keyword..
The point is that Apple runs its software approval process like the Soviet Union ran its government.
Unfortunately game dev has to be native but I for one will never develop for the iPhone natively again.. Safari is powerful enough to handle a lot of apps which could have gone that route instead, i.e. Google Voice..
Best of luck
We have also had a submission rejected because of content in the application description. Even though the binary submission was not altered, we were forced to re-upload the binary and wait an additional >2 weeks for the next round of review feedback for removing ONE sentence from the description. There should be a separate review queue for application description, the current system is incredibly inefficient.

I have had that too, but it is not unreasonable. The worst I have had is because I used a SIMILAR font and style to a well known tv show, in a quiz about that tv show.
It's a keyword right? Am I missing something?
