[orkut-developer] Re: Drop in traffic during last 2 weeks
It's so clear that they are not very interested in strengthening the relationship with app developers. Profile view disabled for old interface (with no prevision to come back). New orkut layout for apps, constantly api bugs, etc... All this mess costed me about 20~30% of traffic too.

In your applications, *you may never redirect the browser (for example, by setting window.top.location -- or by any other method)*. Redirections are against the developer guidelines, and if you do that, AppReviewer *will*flag your application as malicious, causing it to disappear from the application directory. No e-mail will be sent to you in this case. If your application disappeared without an explanation, this may be your case. One common use case that developers may be tempted to address with a redirection is when the user runs the app without having it installed (for example, runs it from a friend's profile). This is called *running in guest mode*. Many applications try to redirect the user to the application's install page in this case, but doing that is not allowed (as per the Developer Guidelines) and will cause AppReviewer to flag your application. Instead, what you should do in that case is run your application in a way that allows the user to experience the application (and perhaps interact a bit with the owner of the app), perhaps *encouraging *(but not forcing)* *him to install the app on his own profile... If you app does not have this guest mode and you don't want to implement it, a reasonable solution is to simply display a screenshot of the app and suggest to the user that he must install your application on his profile in order to play it, giving him the instructions or the link that will allow him to do so.

[orkut-developer] AppReviewer loading time issue
Hi guys, I have 2 apps that are working fine. Their loading time are about 3~4 seconds, but I received 2 e-mails stating that each app is taking too long to load: While reviewing your app, we observed: - The app took too long to load. Some of the possible reasons for this are: (1) perhaps you are displaying a modal dialog (popup). If this is the case, please remove the popup; (2) perhaps the code that executes when the page loads is taking too long to finish.Are you doing too much processing? An infinite loop? Are you performing a synchronousoperation involving the network?; (3) perhaps you are trying to load too many resources (images, media, scripts, etc). Perhaps it's best to cut back on resources or load them later instead of trying to do that when the page is first shown; (4) there might be a vulnerability in the way user-generated-content is rendered, that is, perhaps there is a way to exploit your application to make it run arbitrary code. Please sanitize all user- generated content, including names, comments, messages, titles and other fields. App IDs: - 997317084936 - 486081566731 (this one is running fine for more than 2 years with no problems) Is this a false positive warning?
