@krzyzanowskim It’s exactly that, random screenshot of the app, working fine, showing the app functionalities, including iOS native stuff that you can onlu do on iOS.

@dimillian Here’s hoping this gets you some new eyeballs on the submission: https://daringfireball.net/2023/01/ice_cubes_app_store_limbo

@gruber If you want the full timeline, it's actually 7 rejections, since January 10, and indeed the last one was 6 days in before rejection this morning!

@gruber @dimillian one time my https://stocketa.com app got *testflight rejected* for being spam as they called it 🙈 https://twitter.com/Stammy/status/1492979526518939652

@gruber @dimillian 💯 agree...it doesn’t matter what Apple says anymore...their actions have shown time and time again that they are not being good stewards/gatekeepers of the App Store...nor are they acting in their customers’ best interest (as they say)

@dimillian this honestly now seems like a reviewer with a personal grudge. If you have a queue with thousands of reviews to get through, you don’t take the time to take that many screen shots

@codecaffeine If the next version is rejected I'll make an appeal and wait this time....

@dimillian feels like App Review has been going through substance abuse lately. Erratic rejections everywhere But don’t lose hope 🙌🏼

@dimillian your “minimum functionality“ app just suggested that I follow somebody that I know I was already following. No idea how that happened (and I’m definitely not saying that your app did it). I’m just glad that your app gave me a heads up so I could get it fixed and follow them again.
Thomas Ricouard
@MuseumShuffle haha, I guess it’s the Mastodon API being weird? Or maybe you followed that person from somewhere else and the explore screen was not refreshed?

@dimillian After I saw it in Ice Cubes I went to and looked on my computer in a web browser and it still showed I wasn't following him. I suppose there's a tiny chance that six days ago I posted to his profile but didn't follow but I really doubt it.

@dimillian so there was one app store rejection story I've been telling people for years. When I worked at VKontakte, our iOS app got rejected a couple of times with the reason to the effect of "we opened the video section, typed the word porn into the search field, and naked people came up". What did you expect doing that, Karen, cute kittens? I thought this was the most asinine app store rejection of all time. But then I saw this. This takes the cake. |
@dimillian "here's proves you're wrong, stop sending me this shit"
