Where are all these Apple bashers coming from? If Apple DIDN'T reject the apps using this API, Amazon and many, many devs would have the right to feel pretty angry at the injustice and inconsistency. In-app linking to extra-app purchasing of any kind is explicitly forbidden by the terms. We already had the "debate" about whether those terms are a good idea or not - I believe they're not. But months later it's more a question of Apple being consistent.
So Dropbox updates their API (impressively within a single day!). Done deal. Let's move on to more important things like Apple inconsistently banning the "iKamaSutra" app after it's successfully been in the app store for years. Now THAT stuff scares me as a dev.
- tedivm 15y agoNo one is saying the problem is that they aren't consistently applying their policies. Consistently applying a draconian policy is exactly the problem here.
- epaga 15y agoBut people DO seem to be surprised / disappointed that Apple is enforcing this draconian policy when in fact they have already been enforcing it for months as can be seen in the Kindle app and many others. And this is what I don't understand.
