The quality argument is bunk, in a very obvious way. Apple reviews each individual app anyway before it can enter the App Store. In other words, given a review of an individual app, the original platform and the app's quality are d-separated (in the Bayes Net sense).
- fab13n 17y agoAgreed, Apple doesn't need any reasons to kill an app. Conversely, they have the ability to "save" an app that doesn't respect TOS. Yet the TOS are useful, as a good set of guidelines: TOS compliance is very strongly correlated with chances of having your app accepted.
- godDLL 17y agoI think it's their way of getting the word out.
- rimantas 17y agoYou can look at it this way: Apple will have less apps to review :)
- jonknee 17y agoSimply because it's against the agreement doesn't mean people won't attempt to submit offending applications (especially considering we don't yet know what the limits are). Using private APIs is against the agreement too, but that hasn't stopped a lot of developers from using them and submitting to the store. Some have even made it by the App Store reviewers.
