How To Get Rejected From the App Store
snydeq writes "Fatal Exception's Neil McAllister catalogs 12 sure-fire ways to get your app rejected from Apple's notoriously fickle App Store. From executing interpreted code, to using Apple's APIs without permission, to designing your UI, each transgression has been abstracted from real-life rejections — for the most part because Apple seems to be making up the rules as it goes along. 'It'd be nice for Apple to make conditions for rejection clear,' McAllister writes. 'Apple has been tinkering with the language of its iPhone SDK license agreement lately, but that hasn't done much to clarify the rules — unless you're Adobe. For everyone else, the App Store's requirements seem as vague and capricious as ever.'"
If you were here, I would buy you a beer.
I can't agree enough.
Yes, but the reason that caused trouble for MS was because they were using their near-complete monopoly in one market to kill off competitors in another market by bundling their product for that market with their "monopoly product".
A suitable car analogy might be if Ford manufactured 95% of all trucks but didn't sell them with trailers, then one day they decided to enter the trailer market by buying licensing "trailer technology" from some other company and bundling a trailer with every truck, that would pretty much kill the trailer market. The dishonest part basically being that they were basically giving their new product away to kill off the competition and gain complete control over the trailer market.
Ok, not the best car analogy ever..
