I hope that situation gets resolved soon. I also agree that an appeals process would be a great idea, and status reports would be good. There just needs to be a lot more and better communication on this subject …

They submitted 5 new versions of their product at the same time (around the 2nd or 3rd week of December) all built on the same core code (they only difference was in textual content) the 4 paid versions have all been approved/available since 1/17/2009, the free version of their app has not been approved to this date and they have received no logical explanation for why from Apple. Even with users inquiring of Apple as to what’s going on, the response is just form letter junk. They need to get their act together. An appeals process or at least reasonable status reports to the developers as to what the hold up is.

How are these small devs supposed to earn a living when their products are being held up for no logical reason for what’s going on 2 months now?

Substandard for a company that prides itself on quality products.

Frustrating to say the least.

Now tell the south park crew to resubmit their app until apple lets it in

Nobody has a dammed clue what is and is not acceptable. Nobody in any of the developer forums can give you a definitive concept what is ok and what isn’t. Its a complete crap shoot – and complete crap – that Apple needs to work out ASAP. Its really hard to sit down and write something and have no idea if its going to get accepted or rejected.
