Re: Apple rejecting applications which use Dropbox
#2Flagged for the linkbait title (which is in fact the title of the forum post), but I'd love it if the title we just edited to actually reflect what was going on.
Edit: To answer some comments; it's misleading because Apple is rejecting some applications which use Dropbox. Or, rather, a single one that we know of. For a reason other than "Dropbox is used by the application", to boot. A better title would explain what was actually happening (no offense to OP; I'm glad s/he cut out the editorializing). But I'm sitting here at -4, so it's unlikely this is seen :)

It's linkbaity for sure but it seems entirely accurate, too.

I don't understand why this is linkbait? Apple is indeed rejecting apps which use Dropbox.

I removed "The horror" from the original title to make it less of a link bait.
What's your suggestion for the title though?

#6I can not be the only one thinking there is an antitrust issue here? I would guess the book thing means Apple is under quite a bit of scrutiny.
While I'm not involved in mobile, I've had similar experiences for over half a decade dealing with the banal, highly questionable, and non-uniformly enforced rules Google imposes on its own advertisers. Some of the stuff is bad enough it makes you think it would fall under RICO if this wasn't a large company but rather an Italian owned waste disposal company.

As best I can tell, the title here is better than the title of the forum post ("The Horror." has been removed.) I think "Apple rejecting applications which use Dropbox." reflects what's going on pretty well. Why do you disagree?

AFAIK, it would only be an antitrust issue if it were shown to be anticompetitive. If Apple is a monopoly or acting as part of an illegal trust, yeah, they're going to get smacked down. But I think the general consensus is that Android is a credible competitor to iOS and Windows is a more-than-credible competitor to Mac OS X, so Apple is not a monopoly.

I don't think that's accurate. It would be like saying "Apple rejecting applications that use buttons" because the apps being rejected have buttons. I'm not saying Apple is doing a good thing here, but the blog post states that it also happens for Google accounts and presumably any other web service where you'd sign up via a browser. Sending people to the site for that purpose if the service is potentially a pay one seems to be in violation of Apple's terms, though it's certainly a stretch. Apple should clarify things and not restrict browser use, but also the title is needlessly alarming.
