MacRumors is reporting that Apple seems to be making efforts to accommodate iPhone Developers even further. With Apple originally denying any application using private application programming interfaces (APIs), Vimov, an iPhone developer has had a good experience in the submission to the App Store.
Vimov, accidentally left programming call to a private API, but the app was still approved by Apple, and Vimov was just warned to remove the API calls in the next update.
Thank you for submitting your update to iSimulate to the App Store. During our review of your application we found it is using a private API, which is in violation of the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement section 3.3.1; ?3.3.1 Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs.? While your application has not been rejected, it would be appropriate to resolve this issue in your next update.
Not too long ago, if these API calls had been left in the application, Apple wouldn’t have blinked an eye, and rejected the app.
Apple has also recently published a developer RSS news feed which offers news and tips regarding App Store submission.
