I don't think Apple have any interest in strictly enforcing this rule. It's meant to be a catchall clause. Most likely App store reviewers will first use some subjective criteria like whether an app feels like a native app or whether it fits certain performance requirements. If an app fails to match the subjective criteria it will be submitted for further inspection. And just then, if it fails to pass that one too, it will be "objectively" rejected for a subjective reason.
- StrawberryFrog 17y agoI don't think Apple have any interest in strictly enforcing this rule. Stupid rules are not improved by selective enforcement. The randomness, the unfair application of them makes it worse.
- lurch_mojoff 17y agoI'm not defending the rule or the inconsistent enforcement of it. I'm just pointing out why DLWormwood's apocalyptic prediction of "a cat-and-mouse game with the larger and/or more tenacious middleware developers, leading Apple to waste resources and R&D money on license enforcement, driving down profits and adding significantly to the large pile of ill will Apple has accumulated in the last few years" will most likely not come true.
