You’ll be surprised to know that Apple is quite fine with keyboards using network access. That is literally why the “Full Access” switch exists. Without it, the keyboard is fully sandboxed. It can receive input from the container app, but nothing can get out. It is surprisingly a user choice, something Apple will rarely give up on iOS.
The rejection was only because the app existed on the Apple Watch, and it was only rejected after the reviewer knew the new Apple watch would include the same feature (Note, you can’t use this feature on < 2021 apple watches, you have to pay to play.)
- marcellus23 5y agoThe rejection was because Apple never allowed keyboard apps on the watch. The idea of bringing a full keyboard to the watch isn't exactly the groundbreaking innovation many people here are acting like it is. Do people really think Apple stole the idea from this guy?
- emadabdulrahim 5y agoYou're missing the point. They rejected his app while going ahead and releasing a clone. Why?
- lostmsu 5y agoNo, these two events were separated by more than a year. The rejection was appealed in 2 months.
- modo_mario 5y ago>The rejection was because Apple never allowed keyboard apps on the watch. Weird because it did. -offer to buy the keyboard. -don't come to agreement. -refuse to remove scam copycats. -ban keyboard. -release own keyboard.
- st3fan 5y agoThere is no list of types of applications that are allowed or not allowed.
- Sunspark 5y agoApple has a history of taking features from apps and calling it their own. Instapaper is an example.
