The intent here, it seems to me, is to stop Adobe from making crappy commercial middleware for Apple's platforms.
This is actually the biggest part of Job's argument that I don't buy. If their intent was actually to stop crap from being produced, they would just reject apps that are crap from the App Store as they do now.
- danudey 16y agoIt's a question of technical vs. subjective evaluation. A lot of apps on the app store are technically acceptable (i.e. they do things right), but do useless or stupid shit (i.e. they're junk). Apple's only lately started to police the actual purpose of apps, rather than their technical merit (or compliance with the HIG).
- KirinDave 16y agoI suppose making this rule more explicit was the goal. The #1 complaint about the app store rejection system is that it is not transparent or explicit. Still, 3.3.1 is poorly worded, so it's not a great solution.
