Re: iDOS 3 Rejected by Apple
#2Apple seriously needs to make all internal coms about rejecting apps public to the person being rejected. I do mean all this way, when people blog about it, there's no more ambiguity and it can be assessed. Also, you can see if they're rejecting it for something they already approved of prior. It feels like some people doing the reviews dont look at prior history at all. Maybe they dont even get access to it, or maybe they dont want to do it. Let the applicant see their entire history, let them better clarify.
This is so embarassing to see every time.

Why should the creator of an app have to link to a Verge story?

#6Apple gets a lot of flack for making iOS a closed system and I genuinely believe that the decisions they make are what they believe are in the public good.
...except for App Store reviews, which are frequently irrational, contradictory, and kafkaesque. (Automatically denied because the app shared the name with a version disallowed under the previous policy? Then denied because they had tried too many times? This is all absurd.)
Apple seriously needs to do a complete reset and reevaluation of how the App Store review system works, because the unfairness and absurdity of it all is tarnishing the reputation of everything else they do.

#7Original post is from April, but there is an update at the bottom from June:
> Got a call from Apple after 2 months. They have decided that iDOS is not a retro game console, so the new rule is not applicable. They suggested I make changes and resubmit for review, but when I asked what changes I should make to be compliant, they had no idea, nor when I asked what a retro game console is.
We need a DMA over here yesterday.

You can't make statements like this without looking at it statistically.
There are tens of millions of updates a year and we only see the most egregious rejections make its way into the public sphere.

The purpose of the system is what it does

The DMA stifles innovation and would make many recent iOS features illegal.
Apple Intelligence - points you to Apple Music or Apple Maps as a response to your query? Illegal.
iPhone Mirroring - doesn't work with Windows or Android. Illegal.
Shareplay screen sharing - doesn't work with Windows or Android. Illegal.
There's a reason those features are not getting an EU release.
