"it is wholly irrelevant"
Nonsense. It seems like the developer was willing to make any changes Apple wished in order to conform to their policies. His impediment was that he could not figure out what those changes were.
If very similar app X is ok, and my app is not, then asking what the crucial difference is, is a very apt question which may lead directly to the specific issue.
If we cant be sensible, ask sensible questions and have a sensible conversation about an issue with another human, in order to try and resolve a problem in good faith, then I guess we should all just go stick our heads in buckets of water.
- Tomte 8y agoThey told him whoch changes they want him to make. He dances around it a lot with "surely I can't get consent from the whole Internet", but he did understand that they want him to use Safari. I don't agree with Apple here, I think his app should be fine. But that's what they said, and just because they did not pull the other apps yet (for all we know), doesn't mean he has a point asking about those.
- option_greek 8y agoAnd why not ? How else will we question arbitrary enforcement without pointing out to the instances of arbitrary enforcement ? Surely, he is not asking that they take down those other apps. He just wants to be in the same bucket as the others.
- Tomte 8y agoYou don't discuss arbitrary enforcement with Apple's reviewer. Either they enforce arbitrarily, or they don't. In neither case do they care about your opinion on it. If you want to have that discussion, have it. On your blog. On Hacker News. On Medium. But not in the "please reinstate my app" conversation with Apple.
