  Looking at his website I don't think it is even in the store. What he names it is really none of Apple's business unless it infringed on one of their trademarks.

    I don’t disagree but we both know that’s not how Apple operates the app store. I can think of a ton of words I would absolutely expect Apple to deny as an app name.

    > What he names it is really none of Apple's business In any AppStore app, everything is literally Apple's business, considering they get a cut of any money that changes hands and can reject your app for "looking at them wrong". That's why the whole model is (rightly) controversial.

      I think anything that Apple does will be controversial, as there's the anti-fans and fans that are at political war. But the true controversy is not a curated store, the controversy is that the curated store is the only way for people to load native code onto the device without compiling it themselves on a separate laptop.

      As I said it isn't in the app store.
