The biggest reason I hear people get rejected for is UI.
From what I hear, the #1 reason for rejection is that a project doesn't build. Most of those rejections are kicked back by an automated process, though.

Last thing any employer wants is the liability hazard of employing people like you.
You don't have to be this way, you know. A good shrink could help. A KKK robe is a very poor substitute for actually getting your act together and being able to interact with decent people.
What does that have to do with the discussion at hand? Apple doesn't reject apps because they're stupid, they reject them if they fail to comply with the terms stated in the developer program agreement.
Apple is hurting the development process by not doing more to encourage projects like PhoneGap.
Well, I just went and looked up PhoneGap, and I now understand why your app was rejected. The mistake wasn't in rejecting your app, it was in approving any other apps that used PhoneGap in the first place.
Apple's managed to get more than fifty thousand apps through the process and onto the store. Nobody's going to write stories about the ones that went smoothly.
Apple makes an indefensible dick move to screw over Pre owners who also use iTunes,
Yeah, because they promised Palm users that the Pre would work with iTunes... Oh, wait. They didn't make any such promise, and in fact they warned people that syncing with the Palm Pre wasn't supported, and probably wouldn't work after the next software update.
Back when the scientologists first sued him for breaking copyright on one of Hubbard's sillier screeds (he made a copy to give to the judge in Grady Ward's case), he wasn't allowed to claim that copying a work to bring it to the attention of law enforcement was fair use. The jury never got to hear the argument.
That phrase certainly didn't originate during the campaign. I heard it in the context of describing attempts to make Windows look better at least five years ago, and it probably predates that usage as well.
Can't stand your "government shouldn't do much of anything [especially things I don't want it to do]" attitude, no matter what the reason for it is.
It's called the rule of law, sunshine. If you want the government to do things outside the powers we've granted to it, then propose a constitutional amendment to allow it to do so. By merely ignoring the constitution, we get chaos.

Why is this flamebait? He makes a perfectly valid point.
Thank you. Sometimes, the random distribution of mod points just goes that way.

They seem to think Apple can do no wrong
I've never said anything of the kind. When Apple does something wrong, I say so. This is not such a case.
I wonder does he like coming across as a complete tosser?
I wonder what it would be like to care what you think?

You seem to be arguing
Try arguing with what I say, not your own caricature of my statements.
You need some basic logic lessons sonny.
I had no trouble spotting your fallacy.

Tell-tale strings are a pretty bad way to search for malicious or dangerous applications.
I'm curious: do you actually expect to get your app approved by arguing about it on /.?
Write your app with the native API.

This from the guy who's telling us Apple isn't stifling innovation.
Apple has those rules about interpreting code for a reason. You don't think platform stability promotes innovation?
-jcr
It's possible that Apple has encouraged a great deal of innovation but stifled a great deal more.
Possible? Sure. Know any innovators who could attest to that? You're not one yourself.

Yes, but how many of those apps are good?

That's not the point.
My point is that the claim that Apple is stifling innovation is absurd on its face.

Aw, what's wrong? Did someone can you for your attitude and then replace you with an outsource vendor?

Don't fetishize that document like it's the Gospel
It's not a work of fiction like the bible, it's a contract. It is the entirety of the legal basis for the power of the federal government.
I'm more along the lines of "Let them do it unless Article 1 Section 9 (or some other section)" says they can't.
Read the tenth amendment.
