Painful, but I guess it's up to the individual AppStore reviewer to figure out what is ok or not. I actually created a few years ago a HackerNews client as well for iOS, but it never got through the review process, not even version 1.0. I was surprised, since many other HackerNews apps with similar features were allowed. At that point I just gave up and put the source code on Github, for whole the world to see.
I believe this way it might still have helped me find new job opportunities, since companies could see a bit of my coding style. So I believe in the end not all work was for nothing.
- gurpreet- 8y agoYes, it would help to know why that condition is there in the first place and also why Apple exercise it for some apps and not others. There's little app developers can do about it for iOS. On Android you can install new app stores, but with Apple you're forced to use theirs. This can be both a blessing and a curse. In this case, it's just unfortunate luck.
- fouc 8y agoI'd assume other reviewers were involved once he challenged the results.
