After Apple rejected another app from the AppStore for anti-competitve reasons, Fraser Speirs—developer of Exposure for iPhone—spoke out against the AppStore guidelines:
Apple’s current practice of rejecting certain applications at the final hurdle – submission to the App Store – is disastrous for investor confidence. Developers are investing time and resources in the App Store marketplace and, if developers aren’t confident, they won’t invest in it. If developers – and serious developers at that – don’t invest, what’s the point?
He also outlines the need for an official Rulebook for the AppStore that lists the do and don’ts, as well as having an AppStore Evangelist openly available for the iPhone development community. Developers don’t like what they’re seeing, and they’re starting to speak out.
