Ummm, maybe I'm reading between the lines too much but I see "for released iPhone software." Does that mean people still can't talk about rejection letters? Ed

Edit, from MacRumors.com
However, the NDA has created too much of a burden on developers, authors and others interested in helping further the iPhone’s success, so we are dropping it for released software. Developers will receive a new agreement without an NDA covering released software within a week or so. Please note that unreleased software and features will remain under NDA until they are released.
- KirinDave 18y agoThe rejection letters were claimed to be under "the NDA". So I think that "the NDA" is gone, so they are open too. I suspect that very shortly (within the week, maybe?) we'll see a very detailed policy announcement about what criterion Apple uses to approve apps for the App store. I also wouldn't be terribly surprised to see a way for private developers to distribute apps without that janky beta-release dance.
- cstejerean 18y agoI don't know about rejection letters, but if I understand correctly when they talk about released iPhone software they mean the iPhone OS/firmware. Some developers get prerelease builds and it makes sense to keep prerelease software under an NDA (standard for all other Apple software).
- ROFISH 18y agoWell I want to see what you have to do to get the prerelease builds. 2.1 messed a few of my things up and I did not get access to it until the day it was released. I paid my $99, why do some people who paid the same $99 get more access than I?
- cstejerean 18y agoAs far as I know it's usually the same group that got access to the original SDK before it was officially released.
