OT: iOS Policies

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Well, by setting the target to iOS 8. The apps went through. …but then

FWIW
It was rejected:

I got a message saying that "you have unfilter access to YouTube, you must set the app for (age) 12+)
I had it sent for age 4+

Send for review; wait a day..

Rejected Again!
Guideline 2.3.10 - Performance - Accurate Metadata

We noticed that your app or its metadata includes irrelevant third-party platform information.
Specifically, your app includes Android references in the “app news” section.
Referencing third-party platforms in your app or its metadata is not permitted on the App Store unless there is specific interactive functionality.

Next Steps
To resolve this issue, please remove all instances of this information from your app and its metadata, including the app description, promotional text, What's New info, previews, and screenshots.
In the "App News" (which called from the server) I made the mistake of saying
=======
Version 1.3
With version 1.3, we hope to have resolved some issues for Android users. The operating system is more robust. The app is less likely to quite.]

So, if the see any reference to android, Rejected!
Somehow that feels "just wrong" to me… I use Macs but…. "greed incarnate" keeps coming up in my word cloud

BR,

I once got rejected for the same thing. When you play with a trillion dollar company they call all the shots.

I’ve seen similar issues if you add in awards, such as “Best App in Google Play”. Pretty sure Amazon are similar about promoting other apps stores, and even Google apps go through a review process.

You wouldn’t dream of putting “Support for iOS 12 and iPhone X” in your Android submissions, though you might get away with it. Just get used to only having meta data that is needed for that particular store.

I’ve had an app rejected for metadata, too.

I put an app of 20 single verse poems on the store. In my description of the app I mentioned that the poems were “under development” and I looked forward to feedback and adding new verses. The rejection stated that no “beta” software can be on the app store. All I did was remove “under development” from the description and then it was accepted.

be well,

We just got an app removed from Google Play because the metadata included references to other works. That’s 6 years after the app was approved for the store. It’s not just Apple that do these things. Here’s the Google article on what will lead to a rejection:
