Yet another sad story of Apple's incompetence at running an app store.
- gjsman-1000 5y agoIt's not incompetence if it's actually their rule. They are competently enforcing an arguably stupid rule.
- withinboredom 5y agoSure, if this was the first submission of the app, or the second. It isn't. It's had this feature and the intro explaining that it broke the rules from the get-go. But now, Apple suddenly backtracks it's decision to allow it AFTER the dev has already made sales based on the feature. Apple should (in theory) give refunds for this, or make the developer whole somehow, because the dev's reputation is screwed.
- shkkmo 5y agoNo, they are incompetently enforcing the rules because the "not allowed" functionality was added a while ago and explicitly mentioned to the reviewers. The update review that triggered the removal was just bug fixes.

- jhgb 5y agoHow large is the Big Mac market? Surely larger than Kobe beef market, right?
- heavyset_go 5y agoApple and Google have consistently shown that they are poor stewards of the mobile app distribution market, having kept an iron grip on the market for over a decade now. Consumers would benefit from real competition and disruption in this space, as competition increases efficiency and lowers costs.
