Dear all,
I just don't get the whole idea about the Apple app review guideline.
I have just developed an app for my client and that is basically for internal employee purpose. And my clients have no idea about app store review guidelines. They just want to through the app review process to get an approval mark from Apple and they just want to make sure that there is no false while developing app.
First of all they have no idea how they want to treat their app, I mean whether they want to put on public App Store or they will go for B2B app.
And i have been telling them past so many days, that you do not need to get any approval if you are making an enterprise app. Apple entertain the review ONLY for custom B2B app or App Store. But they do not want to listen anything, they just want to get an approval.
So, later i just thought to get an iOS developer program account and submit the app for review and once review is done then i can withdraw/reject the binary later. Apple provides two option to submit your app after review with A) Automatically submitted B) Let me decide
And i think Apple does not have any problem if some one just submit their for just review because they are getting paid by 99$ for a year.
My App is client-server side communication. We make the request to the server and get the response and display it on control.
I just wanted to clear some doubts before submission:
- Will apple will accept such kind of app for review which is not useful for public (this app ask for credential, and we are providing the credential to the apple for review so whoever will download the app can not use). And we tell them that we will push it to app store by just giving some fake random date and withdraw/reject the binary after review). But apple should not create the issue as we are setting the price free.
- As per as Apple app review guidelines 2.12 Apps that are not very useful, are simply web sites bundled as apps, or do not provide any lasting entertainment value may be rejected As my server is not stable, we just can provide them login credential to go into the app. I do not think Apple will be bother about what kind of data which we are getting from Server, and how long it take to get it from server. So will apple reject the app if we just tell them that we are going to put on app store though this app is completely for internal employee.
- Apple review the data/content used inside the app ?
- Well my app is not simply websites bundled, it has many great feature(confidential). and we tell them that is going to publish on app store, so how apple decide whether this app is for general/B2B app store. Will they reject the app by just saying this app is not for general so it should go with B2B app store.
I hope i could write my problem with details.
So please, help me to clear my doubts.
Thanks
