This might be a good time to reconsider what made iOS the best platform for this application in the first place.
For example, can the app be re-packaged as an HTML5 app instead? What's the compelling advantage for building on iOS for this application?
- sydd 8y agoThat would be the same from a legal standpoint. You app would just get shittier UX, nothing else.
- latortuga 8y agoThis is not a situation where legality is in play, it's an Apple policy rejection. Apple can say it's "for legal reasons" but Apple is enforcing it, not the government. Nobody is suing OP.
- jobigoud 8y agoI think what your parent comment is saying is that the Apple policy rejection would be exactly the same whether the app is native or HTML5.
- jurip 8y agoI'd imagine the compelling advantage is being a native iOS application: "I wasn’t satisfied with the features of the Hacker News clients I had downloaded from the app store".
- apo 8y agoIt looks like I wasn't clear - I'm suggesting an in-browser app independent of iOS and the app store.
