Most awesome reason for an iPhone app refusal?
Oct 8th, 2009 by duncan
I just received the following email from Apple (Conversion farts when you shake it – hence the word is in the search keywords):
“We’ve reviewed Conversion 2.2 and determined that we cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the App Store at this time because of inappropriate ‘Keywords’ used to identify your application. We cannot post applications that contain irrelevant keywords in their search criteria. Keywords must be applicable to the application content. It would be appropriate to remove fart.”
I’m glad apple is keeping me safe from developers like you
@Linc: Actually, Apple isn’t saving us from an App, they are saving us from finding Conversion when we do a keyword search of ‘fart’.
Wow, that’s really sad. Of all the things that they have a problem with, fart in the keywords is just really really sad…
My friend’s translation app was refused because it contained the “inappropriate F-word”! Their policy is ridiculous, I agree…
