Will Apple accept multiple versions of the same app that are re-branded for different clients? If so, how different do the apps need to be when they are re-skinned?

Transactions Outside The App Store – is it allowed to place a “buy now” button in an App that will open a website (in Safari) which allows the user to purchase a product?

I’m going to re-read the dev agreement but they’re not always easy to understand, let alone not knowing how Apple interprets their own rules.

It seems like apple is really trying hard to protect all the people from us developers, when really they should be allowing distribution channels for its customers.

It is the reason why an estimated 40 percent of apple devices have been jail broken, which leads one to consider the idea that if that many people have jail broken their devices, where are they getting their apps?

I had my last submission (see my website if you want to know what it was) blocked due to “ridiculing public figures”. I let it drop because the client hired their own in-house developer, good luck to him! Apparently content that is OK for an iTunes podcast is not necessarily ok for the app store?

I just had an app rejected for inaccurate/unclear description…

“The application description for the application states that the user can “choose the length of conversation”, however, using the slider on the main view has no affect on the call (see screenshot).”

@Kevin Kachikian (first part) — but everyone, please advise me…10base-t, visitors and Apple):
Obviously, from your description, the “Nyuk Nyuk Lite” app duplicates functionality of Apple QuickTime Player. QuickTime Player has all these “PRO Menu Items” grayed out. Click on them and they dangle a carrot about what you are missing and offer you the opportunity to Learn More, express disinterest at the present moment, and of course to Buy Now.

I had just started learning Objective-C after that seductive iPhone App Store keynote; got my Mac talking to me with the Speech framework (NSSpeechSynthesizer I think), then tried to make it into an iPhone app. I guess “Linking to private frameworks” can help me stop trying to get this to work? I was thinking of trying iPhone development again (although my new language love is Eiffel). How can I know that I’m using legal iPhone Classes? I think I came across an iPhone framework in the past, but can’t seem to find it quickly now, and I got the impression that I have to stay within this iPhone framework (or just don’t know how to link NSSpeechSynthesizer into an iPhone app and I don’t know if it would fail under “Linking to private frameworks” anyway.) Is making an iPhone app with NSSpeechSynthesizer possible or disallowed? – Please also tell me here InstructICC at hot mail, thanks.

My Nyuk Nyuk Lite app was rejected because it was referencing features that were in the main version not in the lite version. You are allowed to have a “buy real version” button, but you can’t grey out features in a lite version that when touched say “buy the main version”.

Having the word “Demo” on one of the screens, as in demonstration of what’s possible (the app was not a limited ‘lite’ version) caused our app to be rejected a few months ago. Removing the word got it accepted eventually.
