Well the worst part was, their own Human Interface Guidelines even say:
“These options are usually visible, but can be hidden as a group, such as......, or individually disabled, such as when a full-screen app can't be minimized. ...... A title bar should be visible, but can be hidden in an immersive app like a game.”
Either way, this wouldn’t be in the top 1000 reasons for someone to request a refund for a game on the store so why is Apple even concerning itself?
- chuckdries 6y agoYeah, why provide an API to disable the minimize button if they're going to reject your app for using it
- mlyle 6y agoBecause you might have an occasional transient window where it's legitimate to disable minimization but you shouldn't do this for main app windows.
- oneplane 6y agoBecause you might use it in an app that you are not going to distribute via the public application stores. It's also possible that the reviewer made a mistake.
- munk-a 6y agoI don't buy this - if you add a feature to software you know it's going to get used - if they needed it for internal stuff they could add it in some private library. And, if it's something people want so bad that you'd allow it for non-published applications then you clearly need to solve it by enabling or offering some sort of replacement for published applications.
- swiftcoder 6y agoThe underlying API is a decade or so older than the current version of the human interface guidelines. It's entirely possible that if they were writing the API today, they'd leave that capability out.
