Rejecting and Accepting an Appfigures Client
I’ve always wanted to build a desktop app that would let me access my most important data quickly. Like those old dashboard widgets used to.
I finally got around to it, and started with Appfigures, my favorite service to track App Store sales.

We noticed that your app offers a subscription with a mechanism other than the in-app purchase API.Can anyone explain to me, how did they let the official Appfigures app into the App Store? It’s the same thing, and I’m pretty sure they don’t have IAPs. It’s just a dumb viewer of the data.
Right after the rejection, I submitted an appeal. I didn’t expect much. I heard the stories. Once your app gets rejected, there’s nothing you can do, I thought. Especially if you’re small and irrelevant.

To my surprise, I got a reply to my appeal. (At this point, I wasn’t expecting one.) Just two days later I received a response, which basically said “Yup, we checked again, you’re fine, actually.”
Unbelievable, I thought. The best part? This heart warming message at the end: “Thank you for your commitment to Mac app development.”
