Apple always does this for all kinds of apps. It sucks, and I don't understand why people keep on happily suffering under their abuse.

  Because AppStore is a monopoly and if you want to publish apps for iOS users, you have one course: obey to their draconian rules and arbitrary review processes.

    This is the issue I was hoping the Epic case would solve. They all missed the plot though, so we're stuck with this bullshit.

      Because Epic didn’t launch the lawsuit out of the kindness of their souls, I doubt they even have what passes for a soul. They also put their case into jeopardy by knowingly breaking the rules first and then complaining the rules were bad. But they have definitely stirred some publicity (including nongeek audience) around all these practices, which is good, maybe someone is going to have a better case riding this wave.

  The fact that one reviewer missed a potential policy violation is no good reason to ignore a policy violation when it’s found. If violations got automatically grandfathered in, you’d get devs pulling tricks like sneaking barely functional violations into the app so it’s unlikely to be spotted then when they got it approved make it fully functional. In any case, it looks like Apple is already engaged with the dev to sort this out. They’ve made some major changes to review appeals in the last year or two.
