Ilium Software has posted a fascinating piece concerning the recent rejection of its eWallet app. It makes a good read and highlights some of the frustrations Apple puts developers through at times. Thanks to Justine for the link.
“Apparently someone is on a graphics kick over at the Apple iPhone app approval center. Thanks to the iPhone card icon in our application, Apple has rejected the eWallet update. Even though the icon has been there since we released eWallet (the week the AppStore went live), apparently the icon is now a problem so we have to remove it.
We aren’t the only ones running into this sort of thing lately. The folks over at TapBots ran into almost the same thing – an icon that’s been in their app for ages that Apple has suddenly decided is a problem. Like I said, it seems more like an “issue du jour” than a real problem…”
I have a couple of apps on the iPhone that use “iPhone” icons already. No doubt updates, if they are updated, may be rejected.
When you think of the rubbish they do let in some of their rejections are baffling! They’ll be sending letters to growers of Granny Smiths soon
