iPhone developers have long been frustrated by Apple when they have an application rejected for inclusion on iTunes. One such developer has decided that it is time to make public the kind of apps that are being rejected and, if known, the reasons. The new website is appropriately named App Rejections.
Besides rejections, some approvals are also posted on the website. Ultimately, it seems that the greatest contribution of the website is that it helps developers gain some knowledge into the iPhone app approval process which many have found “semi-random”. Sometimes, the website can also generate publicity to help a rejected or limbo app make it through the approval process. If you are looking to contribute to the website with a rejected iPhone app of your own you can Twitter @redglassesapps.
Adam Martin, the website’s author, is based in the UK and works as an online games and iPhone consultant. Since Apple does not wish to lift the cloak of secrecy around the app approval process it is nice to know there is one person who is trying create a map to navigate it. The website is not only valuable to developers, but to clients looking to have an iPhone app developed since some functionality may be a sure fire way to get an app rejected.
