Apple’s New “iAd Gallery” App Violates Apple’s App Guidelines and Probably Should Have Been Rejected

Apple’snew “ iAd Gallery ” iPhone app , which shows off the iAds that its advertizer have purchased , is theoretically in violation of Apple ’s ownApp Store guidelines , which thecompany published last class .

Let us direct your care to guideline 2.13 :

This was probably included to make certain that “ marketers ” do n’t just make iOS apps that dish up as virtual brochures , forcing them to also let in more feature article , like games or editorial capacity . We hear that Apple has actually rejected apps in the past establish on this notion .

You could debate that Apple is breach that road map and should have rejected its own app . ( Though it ’s a overnice app , and will actually be very utile , so we ’re glad they did n’t . )

Anyway , of course , that would never happen . Apple has its own curing of rules and everyone know that . It ’s good to be boss , even if the company ’s want of consistence sometimes burnsdevelopers .

Along the same crease : Apparently , another developerhad this idea first , and Apple rejected their app for lacking functionality . And then Apple made their own app that does the same affair . Again , it ’s good to be Apple in this situation .
