There is that bottom-line terror every time a dev thinks about writing an app for iOS: will Apple allow this app to exist? To me, this is a horrible and limiting thing to have to even consider and the reason that in the long run Apple will have to give this idea up or see their platform slowly fade over time. I'm not convinced. We all know the rules: "Don't take the piss".

> I'm not convinced. We all know the rules: "Don't take the piss" Where the definition of "taking the piss" is determined by Apple alone and is subject to change.

Where "take the piss" includes things like "have a toggle to hide NSFW subreddits in your Reddit client," "track drone strikes," "feature Buzz Aldrin with his enthusiastic permission," "mention the existence of Android on your support page on your web site," and "a lock screen widget that lets you take notes."

  And most importantly: don't compete with anything Apple did, does or intends to do at some undefined point in the future.
