If you're a registered developer, you can read the just-published App Store Guidelines here:
http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.html http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guide...
For those who aren't registered developers, it's basically a list of 189 rules, most in the form of "Apps that ... will be rejected"
- johnthedebs 16y agoAny chance someone can make that available to non-developers?
- Tichy 16y agoProbably not, NDA and all that.

- thwarted 16y ago2.11 Apps that duplicate apps already in the App Store may be rejected, particularly if there are many of them I wonder how quality of the current apps vs quality of the new app applies here.
- bad_user 16y agoOf course those rules are still subjective ... what does "many of them" mean anyway? But still, it's an improvement.
- elai 16y agoYou have to make it a bit better/different and then they can't argue it's duplicate. You can say, oh we can't compete now. Only 3 car manufacturers are allowed?
- brownleej 16y agoFrom the second paragraph: "We view Apps different than books or songs, which we do not curate." I wish Apple would learn how to use the word "different".
