Re: Discouraging News From The App Store

Hi Dennis,

They can just submit the update with previous functionality removed, see if
Apple approves it, and if they don't approve it, the dev can just put back
the functionality and resubmit it.   I don't think this is an issue where
the developer would need to consult a lawyer. There's no risk to them in
just trying it out and see if Apple approves it.

The guidelines are pretty clear to me, Apple says to please not disable
previously purchased functionality. However, I think what might happen is
the app will just fly under the radar if Apple's review team doesn't notice
or doesn't think it's a huge deal. It's entirely possible Voice Dream's
developers will be able to push this through regardless of what the
guidelines on that page state.

Can’t speak for the Voice Dream team, but it’s usually a whole lot easier just 
to submit and let Apple approve or send back any changes that need to be made 
during the submission process.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

I would think Voicedream has lawyers that reviewed the developer agreement at

Apple advisors have been known to get things wrong, it will be interesting to 
hear what others hear about this. I called Apple about the voice dream 
situation, as to whether they could disable part of their app if we don't 
subscribe. He was very familiar with the guideline that some on this list would 
say that they can't do that. He said that guideline only applied to Apple 
products. Third party app developers are not subject to this guideline. As I 
stated before, these advisors have been known tin get it wrong sometimes. Let's

He's simply wrong about that guideline. Those guidelines are for
third-party developers who submit apps to the App Store. Only that team
will be able to ultimately make the final decision. Those guidelines are
Apple telling developers what's expected of them on the App Store, Apple
wouldn't write and publish guidelines for Apple themselves. In this case
the support person is incorrect.
