App Store Rejection
Apple informed me that they had rejected MMATracker v2.2.3 because:
When the device is connected to a WiFi network and the user taps on any of the upcoming events, the contents on the next screen are blank. This review was conducted on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2nd generation running iPhone OS 3.0.
Interestingly I can’t reproduce this at all. It works in the iPhone simulator using OS 2.x and 3.0. The build I submitted, I have installed on my iPhone 3G and it works. It works over WIFI. Works over 3G/EDGE.
The only thing I can think of is it happened due to us moving the server where the web service/DB for MMATracker lives.
If they reject it again, not sure what next steps are.
As time goes on, I find that Apple’s process gets more and more frustrating. I don’t like the delay between submission and approval/rejection. I hate the faceless bureaucracy as Apple employees hide behind generic email addresses.
Do musicians on iTunes need to have their album covers adhere to Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines? Do studios have to tailor their movies/TV shows for Apple? Why do only application developers have to put up with this crap?
