Surely they have some sort of process to make sure the rules are applied somewhat evenly. It's not like modifying the function of hardware buttons is subjective

Surely they have some sort of process to make sure the rules are applied somewhat evenly. It's not like modifying the function of hardware buttons is subjective, like some of the other criteria for inclusion in the App Store.
Does the App Store approval group have any sort of developer community liaison to manage this sort of thing? Sounds like a cool job to me.
- tedunangst 16y agoLikely the approver forgot about that guideline from their training and let it through by accident. From the history of the other mentioned apps, it sounds like it will get pulled soon enough and all will be right again. I can understand that inconsistency is annoying, but wikipedia applies the "notable" standard at least as inconsistently and stories about that don't make the front page. Thankfully.
- joe_the_user 16y agoThere aren't dollars riding on whether a wikipedia story makes the front page.
- tedunangst 16y ago"I hope the approver overlooks our egregiously violating app" isn't a very good business plan.
- joe_the_user 16y agoThe approver overlooking someone else's violating app isn't good for your business plan...
