App Store Horror Stories

@castmagic_io is a web based app - we built an ios app as an added benefit for existing customers only.

However, apple just keeps rejecting it and asking for 30% of our revenue which makes no sense. The app is built for existing customers only so these people already have a subscription with us. We continue to submit explaining this but nope, they want 30%.

@Apple wants their 30% internet tax on all NFT transfers and rejected Coinbase app update in the App store. Yet, their in-app system doesn‘t support crypto.

Apple‘s duopoly needs to end.
Apple‘s "pirating" with their 30% internet tax needs to end.

My App Store is running me mad, I want to download a free app and it’s insisting I add card details. Then it proceeds to reject every card I try ?

Durov openly criticizes Apple due to the App Store’s strict rules. Updates of Telegram’s iOS app have multiple times been rejected by Apple for violating some of the company’s guidelines, such as replicating the iOS emoji design

All I wanted for Xmas this year was for Apple to stop fucking with developers, trying to turn them upside down at every junction to shake them down. I love Apple hardware, I hella respect Apple Safari, but this monopoly App Store bullshit has got to stop.

@t3dotgg I didn’t know the App Store allows “coming soon” in update descriptions. I’ve been rejected before for describing features that were not currently included in the app

App Store fun for the day. Submitted an app update for 6 language learning apps which all use the same codebase (just a config file to change which language user is learning). 2 apps approved, 4 apps weren‘t. Rejected for generic What‘s New text and questions around registration
