Dark Side of the App Store

I am an Apple fanboy and I admit that. But one of the most frustrating things in being an app developer is dealing with the App Store review and compliance teams. This time I would like to share my experience with these problems.

Even Apple’s former app approval chief has said that he is ‘really worried’ about the company’s anticompetitive behavior.

App Store review rejections

Quite recently I jumped on a project which promotes vegan food places in Latvia. All these food spots are validated by the project manager and have to have at least three proper vegan meal options. I thought it would be a great idea to make an app for that because on the go it is always easier to use it from your phone. App adds extra features like navigation, searchable list and more features that are not available on the website.

So far this app has been released with 5 version updates each time adding extra features to it. People love and use it a lot. Even data shows that app retention, ratings, and feedback from social media is very good.
