10.6 iOS app rejection - teasing out the specifics?

Our Augmented Reality app was rejected under 10.6 (I've pasted the full text below). In my understanding from reading a lot of rejection threads elsewhere on the web this can actually cover quite a broad range of rejections, including the explicitly mentioned poor quality UI, apps that could be websites, apps with little functionality, and apps that include graphics assets that apple are not happy about (possibly copyrighted etc). These specifics are usually noted in the latter paragraphs. In our case Im a little confused by them as they dont seem to apply due to the complexity of the app.
Ive attached shots of the app - one while running, the other after hitting the picture button with the sharing options up. The app is predominately aimed at young asian women into nail art culture, and matches our branding in use of typography and colour. The gems on the menu slowly rotate, making a shifting, abstract-looking shape either side of the options.
Is this a straight UI quality issue? Does it look confusing or too low quality visually compared to other apps? Or is it possible the reviewer thought it was just a camera app and didnt get the AR working for some reason (hence the additional iOS functionality comments)? It definitely couldnt be an HTML 5 app, but I do wonder what made the reviewer add that paragraph in particular.
I have sent a message asking for clarification, but things seem slow there at the moment, and I know theres a good chance they wont be willing to talk specifics.
10.6
We found the user interface of your app is not of sufficient quality to be appropriate for the App Store. Apps that provide a poor user experience are not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
It would be appropriate to incorporate additional iOS functionality within your application.
Please evaluate whether you can make the necessary revisions to improve the user experience of your app.
If you cannot - or choose not to - revise your app to be in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines, you may wish to build an HTML5 web app instead. You can distribute web apps directly on your web site; the App Store does not accept or distribute web apps.
HTML5 is the major new version of HTML and enables audio and video to play natively in the browser without requiring proprietary plug-ins. <I've cut the rest of this - details on HTML5 apps>

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, you must install the DVD version of iWork. If you previously got a compatible version of Numbers from the Mac App Store, go to its home page and click on Support under Quick Links.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, try purchasing Mac OS X 10.8 from the Mac App Store. If you get told that it's incompatible, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.
If upgrading to 10.7 or 10.8 requires any other upgrades or replacements(they both require at least 2GB RAM and don't support PowerPC-only software such as Office 2004), it may be cheaper to buy and install the DVD version of iWork even if your computer can be upgraded to use the Mac App Store version.

  • IOS app rejected due to a blank, black screen upon launch

    I recently got my iPhone app rejected and the reason is below:
    "We found that your app exhibited one or more bugs, when reviewed on iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.3, on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
    Specifically, the app displayed a blank, black screen upon launch. Please see the attached screenshot/s for more information.
    The steps to reproduce are:
    1. Launch app
    2. Bug encountered"
    I use FlashDevelop and the latest Apache Flex + Air SDK 3.7 + swfversion=20. I don't have an iPhone 5 to test on but I've tested the application on a 3GS, iPod touch (4th gen.) on IOS 4.3, 5.1 and 6.1.3 (latest) and the application works on all of them.
    The attached screenshot mentioned above is here:
    the "blank" screen is actually a deep blue one, which the color I've set to my project's background.
    I didn't make any special modifications in the code to support iPhone 5 to be honest, and the project dimensions were set to 640x960, but I did include the [email protected], and it shows inside the .ipa at Payload/Myapp.app/
    In almost all the iPhone 5 discussions I've read online, theat launch problem is due to the [email protected] not being there in the root of the release .ipa, but I'm sure it does exist on my ipa. Also, I have request high resolution set to high, and the Info.plist has the correct DTPlatformVersion (6.0) and DTSDKName (iphoneos6.0).
    Any ideas what the problem could be?
    Thanks.

    Remember - they gave you a very specific device and version. It might be working on all other configurations. So if you are unable to get your hands on that device and version you are going to be left stabbing in the dark as to what is going wrong.
    My advice would just be to figure out what's different with that device and make sure everything is configured properly.
    Another option - if you don't want this app on the iPad anyway - is to remove it from the configuration:
    <key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
    <array>
              <string>1</string>
              <string>2</string>
    </array>
    You would delete the <string>2</string> part.

  • AIR 15 - iOS Apps Rejected -  XCode 5.1.1 is now required

    We've run into an issue with Apple no longer accepting apps compiled with Adobe AIR, due to a new requirement for the XCode version used:
    As of September 9th 2014, all apps must be built using XCode 5.1.1 -- though Adobe AIR (including the newest version 15 released on the same date) compiles using XCode 5.0.2.
    After submitting an AIR app to iTunes Connect yesterday, we received an email from iTunes stating that "This bundle is invalid" because it's using an older version of XCode that is no longer allowed for uploads.  The full message reads:
    Dear developer,
    We have discovered one or more issues with your recent submission for "yourappnamehere". To process your submission, the following issues must be corrected:
    This bundle is invalid - New apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with public (GM) versions of Xcode 5.1.1 or higher and iOS 7 SDK. Do not submit apps built with beta software.
    Once these issues have been corrected, use Xcode or Application Loader to upload a new binary to iTunes Connect. Choose the new binary on the app’s Details page in My Apps on iTunes Connect, and click Submit for Review.
    Regards,
    The App Store team
    After compiling with both AIR 14 and AIR 15, I changed the extension from .ipa to .zip and unzipped the package to see what version it was using.  Within the Info.plist file, it shows that AIR is using XCode 5.0.2 (DTXcode set to 0502, DTXcodeBuild set to 5A2005).  The only version that is now allowed for uploads is XCode 5.1.1 (Build 5B1008). 
    As it stands now, all AIR-developed apps for iOS will be rejected, and cannot be published on the App Store.  This goes for new apps as well as submitting updates for apps that are already live in the App Store.
    I just submitted a report to the Adobe Bugbase about this as well, you can view it or vote on it here:
    Bug#3821892 - AIR apps rejected for iOS - Not built using XCode 5.1.1

    Hi,
    We have a similar issue. Yesterday, September 24th 2014, I attempted to upload an application update and I received this error:
         ERROR ITMS-9000: "Invalid Segment Alignment. This app does not have proper segment alignment and should be rebuilt with the latest version of Xcode. Please contact Developer Technical Support if you need further assistance." - The upload log is only a bit more verbose with "ErrorCode = 1102".
    My first upload attempt binary was built with AIR 14.0 and iPhone SDK 7.1. (DTXcode == 0502)
    After some Web search, I found this forum post, and also tried theses builds :
    - AIR 15.0.0.274 and iPhone SDK 8.0 (DTXcode == 0600)
    - AIR 14.0 and iPhone SDK 8.0 (DTXcode == 0502)
    For all three attempts, I received the same error. I have not tested yet with AIR 15.0.0.274 and iPhone SDK 7.1, but i'm not sure its worth it...
    I sent an assistance request to Apple, but I would like to know what is the Adobe status for iOS 8 support... I cannot find much info about this on the AIR 15 SDK page.
    If anyone can bring some light on this, thanks in advance,

  • IOS apps downloads not in the iTunes Store

    There are many iOS apps downloads site apart from iTunes Store can be downloads. My question is, how can i downloads the apps to my iPad?
    Is it perform as the same as the iTunes store? And why do the price differ from each other. Say for instance, i saw the angry birds are free, but in the iTunes Store is USD1.99?

    The apps cant be download straight to your device, like the iTunes Store does! I'm not sure wheather its legal or unlegal though. Pls check again from the said site, read the instructions and best of luck!
    If you ask me, i rather be download it from iTunes Store rather then gamble it. Maybe it can affect the stability of the apps and thus your device

  • AIR iOS app rejected?

    Hi guys,
    I've finished developing my app, live video streaming for iOS, I submitted on apps store but they rejected! (I didn't read the guideline carefully T_T https://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.html)
    3.1: Apps or metadata that mentions the name of any other mobile platform will be rejected
    9.4: Video streaming content over a cellular network longer than 10 minutes must use HTTP Live and include a baseline 64 kbps audio-only HTTP Live stream
    Is there a way to get through? Much appriciate! Thanks!!

    Putiing UIRequiresPersistent Wi-fi should show you the dialog to select an available wi-fi, if present. Now that AIR 3 is releases, you should explore the stageVideo feature for streaming. See http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/stage_video.html. Also, with AIR 3, you can use native extensions to find the network information, you don't even need to write the extension yourself , it is available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/networkinfo.html.
    Hope this helps.

  • App Rejection: After purchasing the subscription the magazine does not start to download.

    Hi Everyone,
    My app has been rejected, with error code 2.2 that it exibits bugs namely "After purchasing the subscription the magazine does not start to download.".
    When I've gone back to test my app on the ipad, I've realised that it doesn't say 'purchased' after confirming the subscription, and instead it still says 'buy' and the subscribe button is still enabled.
    I've followed the instructions in this article: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/subscription-fail-ios-renditions.html, I've set all published dates to the 29th of October 2012 both in the Folio Producer Organiser and in itunes connect (Newsstand, in-app purchase section) and it still doesn't work. I've entered the secret code in the administration area also. The subscription product ID is identical in itunes connect and the Viewer builder. I've deleted the app and re-downloaded it multiple times on the ipad, updated the folio in the folio producer many times...
    Can anyone see what I might be doing wrong? Is there something I have missed?
    I appreciate your help.

    @FLTAron, were you able to resolve your issue, 'cause I am facing  exactly same issue

  • How can I keep my child from UNBLOCKING contacts or numbers I have blocked? I know in restrictions when you disable account changes at least on ios 6,this greyed out the iMessage button so the kids couldn't deactivate their text feature.

    Here's the issue.  Kids got themselves into some trouble on iPods.  We set all restrictions any turned off iMessage etc, which I noticed they can't turn back on bc it's gray with the don't allow account changes set.  BUT, it still allows Wi-Fi to be turned on and off!  How can I disable them being able to turn that on wo asking me??  In ios 7, the blocking feature, fabulous, BUT, how can I keep the kids from UNBLOCKING numbers I have blocked?  What I am looking to do actually is allow my kids to be able to text family but block everyone else.  And ask me to turn on wi fi.  How and can this even be done?  Right now my d text is turned off completely.  And she knows the inside and out of her device so she can turn wi fi on herself.  On vacation she entered the wi fi code of our condo and so I did forget network, which didn't work and wi fi kept connecting anyway wo requiring password again!  HELP!  Thanks :)  Also, they have iPods now but am asking these questions based on them getting our 4s's with ios 7.

    TeresaBoo, I empathize with your dilemma and have a similar problem. I'm trying desperately to keep my teenage daughter away from a controlling and abusive boyfriend. Of course, she is in denial and thinks it's love. Sure, I can block text messages through our wireless provider, but iMessages run on an independent network. I can block a phone number from iMessaging on her phone, but she can unblock it just as easily. I wish there was some way for parents to create a password to protect settings. Don't let negative comments get you down. Honestly, if someone can't relate to your question or offer help, why are they even bothering to comment??

  • It's possible to make ios apps in Windows with the new Flash Pro Cs5.5?

    It's very difficult to find a concrete answer for that question some people says yes and other no; i need to know before i pay the developer license fee.
    I will aprecciate alot the help.
    Thanks

    It's probably talking about your Apple Developer Certificate. Apple issues you a .cer file that you need to generate a legit .p12 certificate to sign your application with. In your provisioning portal you also have to set up the application with a unique ID and then export a distribution provision pointing toward that app ID. The iOS portal has a very straight forward guide on doing all of what I just said. Then when exporting your app you select to export it for the store rather than quick debugging or adhoc. Then it will have the correct code.
    After you submit your app and it's approved iTunes does all the work of installing your app on peoples devices if they choose to install it.

  • Frequent authorize computer requests before synch of the iOS apps or starting of the AppStore apps.

    Hello,
    almost every time, when I synch an iOS device or like to start a Mac AppStore application, the iTunes/AppStore request to authorize this computer.
    I tried all the hint from the official Apple site (authorize via admin account, delete the special folder, de-authorize and the authorize again, remove all computer assigned to my account) but nothing helps so far.
    This is very annoying :(.
    Also I places from time to time such requests for help in this forum, searched in internet but not solution so far.
    I found out, that many of old song (some of them are still with DRM) and iPod games (all with DRM) are assigned to the account name, which is different as my current account name. I don't remember but it was change at some moment.
    Anyway, after an authorization, I also able to play such DRM songs and sync iPod classic games to my iPod.
    So. please help.
    Many thanks in advanced.

    Hi, cameo557.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are receiving a prompt for an old Apple ID when attempting an update.  You cant attempt to reset that password for the Apple ID via the steps in the first article below.  If you need assistance with this or are not receiving the email, see the second attached article.  You can also delete the applications in question and download them again with your new Apple ID.  However, this will cause any application data in those applications to be deleted and you may be charged if these are paid for applications.

  • Is it still possible to create a 32-bit only iOS app?

    With the latest AIR release (17), is there any way to still create a 32-bit only iOS app for testing on the iPad 1? It's currently not possible to install an app with 64-bit support on an iPad 1 to test the app. My understanding, however, is that Apple will do something on their end that will allow apps submitted to the App Store (with 64-bit support) to still be downloaded and installed on an iPad 1. Having a way to test on the iPad 1 before submission to Apple would be nice.
    Is there a compiler switch or something that can be used for this purpose? If not, could such a switch be added easily? If we had such an option, we could continue testing on and supporting the iPad 1. Being in the education market, this is kind of critical to us.
    Thanks,

    Because an app built with 64-bit support *cannot* be installed on an iPad 1 device for testing purposes, whether using iTunes or Xcode. It simply doesn't work. This is the message generated by Xcode:
    This is when trying to install an app built with Flash Builder 4.7 and AIR sdk 17 beta.
    As I stated before, my understanding is that Apple will still allow installing apps on an iPad 1 through the App Store, but *only* through the App Store. In my opinion, this is too late. We really need a way to continue testing on the iPad 1, if at all possible. That's why I'm asking if there's a possibility of adding a compiler switch of some kind that would allow building 32-bit only apps, for testing purposes only.
    Thanks.

  • How to find out the number of threads created under java vm at runtime

    our application seems to have hit the max number of threads that can be created under vm and the vm will just hang after that. that behavior seems to be consistent from an article that I read earlier.
    I wonder any way that java app can find out the number of threads currently created under vm?
    thanks in advance!

    If you are not starting an extra thread group you can use the Thread.activeCount method. But this willnot return all the threads, as there are some jvm threads, i.e. garbage collector. Also if you are running on a Unix type operating system then you can send a signal to the jvm to give you a thread dump, i think the signal is sighup.
    If the application is hanging i would of thought that you have a deadlock situation rather then the JVM not being able to create new threads, roughly how many threads should be running ??
