Mentioning Android Is a No-No In iPhone App Store

Posted by kdawson on from the wash-your-mouth-out dept.

donberryman writes "Apple has told a software developer that its application cannot be included in the iPhone App Store if it mentions Google Android. The developer just wanted to mention that the app was a finalist in Google's Android Developer's Challenge." The developer complied with apparent good humor. Here is their blog post, which includes the text of the iPhone store's not-quite-rejection.

    You know that an iTunes App Store application won't work on an Android phone. I know that. Do you think every single "average" user knows that?

    And thanks for highlighting my typo. Good on ya.

    Good catch. I think an apple fanboy got his feathers ruffled a bit. Blind loyalty is blind.

    Please. You expect way too much sense from an Apple hater.

    A tip to the GP: Displaying your ignorance and stupidity to the world does not actually reflect poorly on Apple.

    Who are forcing you to use any Apple products again? Nobody!

    I have never liked Apple, just a smaller version of Microsoft and equally crappy. No thanks!
