Well, there's a well-known and very good tech site with serious inside
connections in the industry and then there's...your opinion. Call me crazy for
not taking you as seriously.
Apple's criteria for accepting apps isn’t what you would call organized. Or
predictable. Or comprehensible.
When I did work for Apple, they were very secretive, very careful,
fairly organized. With many projects in R&D at the same time, most of
the research groups were kept in the dark about each others projects.
When the projects became viable, they were tested and retested, many of
them scrapped rather releasing them if the product wasn't up to par.
With software, Apple is very clear about what is supported and not
supported. They want everything to work seamlessly, and provide all the
APIs for the developers to get their apps right, then have them tested
repeatedly [unlike Microsoft which doesn't release all APIs to third
party developers].
I have at least as much experience with Apple products as your so-called
tech site. There are NO real inside connections with Apple, except where
Apple allows. As soon as there are leaks, the leaker[s] is/are fired.
Industrial espionage is serious business. I still have a cousin who
works for Apple as an engineer. They're as secretive about their
projects as the NSA.
