Got a rejection for @YoinkApp for #Mac for mentioning Apple pre-release software, but I am not. They didn’t give an example or any info where I’m allegedly mentioning it, either.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Turns out<\/a> they didn’t like that his app mentions support for Continuity Camera, which was added in iOS 12. But Continuity Camera is also<\/a> the name of a new iOS 16 feature, and you aren’t allowed to mention pre-release stuff.<\/p>\n\n

Matthias Gansrigler<\/a>:<\/p>\n

App Review’s responses are getting downright nonsensical and disconnected.<\/p>

They now offered me links to “helpful” articles on how to implement features like Game Center, iCloud, and In-App purchases.<\/p>

What exactly does that have to do with iOS 12’s Continuity Camera feature!?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Sure, it seems like they have no idea<\/a> what they’re doing, but we’re supposed to believe this is keeping the platform safe.<\/p>\n\n

He escalated to the App Review Board. Six days later<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Your app is no longer in violation”. Great.<\/p>\n

But now they found 3 (!) other things allegedly wrong with \n@YoinkApp\n for #Mac, which have been there “forever” and never posed a problem before. 🤦‍♂️<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
