"Apple: “If your app is cross-platform, then 11.2 does not apply and this problem goes away"
Me: "Really, so if I build an Android version and launch it, I’m good?"
Apple: "Yes”
Is the above right? Doesn't seem to hold. If it is so, why does the Kindle app still seem to obey the 11.2, despite being cross-platform?
- alexholehouse 14y agoAgreed this makes no sense? If this is correct, does this not represent a [significant] financial incentive from Apple to not have an iOS only app?
- mtgx 14y agoHey, I for one am glad Apple is encouraging developers to build apps for Android. Maybe developers will actually start developing for Android first, considering this keeps happening, and worst case scenario, they remain with the Android app, if Apple completely rejects it. If they have just the iOS app, they might just give up for good. The fact that Google has just made a Java 2 Object-C translator tool and that there are now more Android devices in the wild than iOS devices, should be a couple of nice incentives as well to build the Android app first.

- jaytaylor 14y agoI am also wondering about this one. It seems fishy..
- billycoover 14y agoI confirmed with Apple this morning that this is not the case. Update the blog post: http://coovtech.com/posts/the-apple-reaper/ http://coovtech.com/posts/the-apple-reaper/
