You might be right... I think it's fair to say we're both guessing.
To me it just doesn't seem logical to resort to such a "nuclear option" over a review disagreement, instead of just complying, negotiating, or at least working around the problem in a creative technical way. It's not like Telegram is changing in some fundamental way since the last review... What could Apple be telling Telegram that is such a massive showstopper?
- eridius 8y agoA lot of companies do tend to reach for the "nuclear option" of crying to the press when getting rejected even though they haven't yet gone through all the steps of trying to resolve the issue privately. > What could Apple be telling Telegram that is such a massive showstopper? Good question. I don't know. There are a lot of possibilities here and it's impossible for us to know what without Telegram telling us the actual rejection reason.

- eridius 8y agoTelegram wants to introduce a feature where they request access to your address book, request access to your photo library, search your photo library using CoreML for photos that appear to be indecent, and start sending them to all of your contacts. Telegram is really adamant that this is an excellent feature and they refuse to remove it when Apple denies them over it. Or probably something else. But you get the idea. Telegram could have tried to introduce behavior that violated Apple rules. Or they could have snuck existing rules violations past Apple in the past and Apple finally noticed.
