| No detailed reason given. Also no info from the developer on what they might have done to trigger this, so basically, except for “Apple terminated this account”, we don’t know what happened. All we can complain about is that Apple’s rejection letters never go into detail. I’m afraid that’s what you get when the legal department of a large corp is involved. |

| There is no valid reason not to disclose that information to the user inside the rejection letter. It's not as much a failure of Apple's legal department as it's a failure of the legal system where this is a-ok. Doesn't matter what the app is - maybe user tried to publish an illegal app, but that should be clearly communicated. It's the civilized way. |

| Irrelvant. Apple shouldn't have that kind of control. |

| ▲ | PaulRobinson 11 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | They shouldn't be able to set terms of how their services should be used? I think we can all agree this is a poor response and they should give some idea on what the root problem is and how to address it, but to say they just shouldn't ever have conditions at all is absurd. | | |
| ▲ | Y-bar 10 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Yes. Agreed. But on the other hand Apple has taken conscious action to put themselves in the position where you have to go through them to get an attestation if you have customers who use Mac OS. They chose not to trust any attestation other than their own, you cannot choose to have Microsoft, or Red Hat, or IBM, or any other trusted vendor (e.g. https://www.sigstore.dev/ or something similar) attest and verify your software and your developer identity. | |

USPS is the only carrier for many situations. They MUST allow you to mail firearms, baby chickens and weird vials of stuff. They don't get to opt out. Either the market is full of choices or the sole provider has to do business with everyone for everything and no longer gets opinions. |
