审批iOS Apps的人就是欠骂!

实在不知道标题怎么写好，就冒充一下标题党吧。。。。

事情的起因是我发的一条推： https://twitter.com/#!/sunajia/status/177806300917399554

“妈的审批Apps的人就是欠骂，两次了！把我的App申请给拒了以后我都是只告诉他们你错了我没错，然后就二话没说的把我的申请给通过了。。。”

@livid 老大回复我让我分享一下经验。我也没有什么太需要隐藏的关键信息，就跟大家分享一下过程吧。

Buddhist eCards （ http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/buddhist-ecards/id499388684?mt=8 ）是我在Apple App Store上发布的第一款app。我的一个印度朋友跟我抱怨在App Store上找不到一款好的佛教主题的电子贺卡软件，于是自告奋勇说他来提供图片，我只要能发布上去就可以了。

于是乎，仔细研究了一下到底怎么写iOS App，拼凑出来了一个可以用的小软件。特别简单的功能，就是打开软件就列出我们的ecard的缩略图，点击缩略图就可以显示全图，然后可以当作电子邮件的附件发送。大概的界面可以参考上面的连接。

看上去虽然简单，但是整个制作过程还是挺费劲的，特别是在一遍遍跟他解释我到底需要什么样的分辨率的不同图片来适应不同版本的iphone/ipad，然后一遍遍测试。。。这中间V2EX上的各位iOS大牛们都经历过，小弟就不再絮述了。

总之，在一顿尝试之后，终于成功地将第一款App提交到了app store上了。然后就是等待，耐心地等待，之前就听各位大大们说过app store审核很慢，所以小弟很有耐心。果不其然，一个兴起过后，收到了iTunes Store的回复：被拒啦！！！！

Binary Rejected Feb 6, 2012 07:35 PM

Reasons for Rejection:
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

Feb 6, 2012 07:35 PM. From Apple.
2.12

We found that the features of your app were not useful or entertaining enough, or your app did not appeal to a broad enough audience, to be in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

For example, your app includes a very limited set of features.

We understand that there are no hard and fast rules to define this but it can be helpful to look at the apps featured on the App Store to get a feel for the type of experience our users expect.

We encourage you to review your app concept and evaluate whether you can incorporate different content and features that are in compliance with the Guidelines.

For app design information, check out the videos: "Getting Started video: The Ingredients of Great iPhone Apps" and "iPhone User Interface Design," available on the iOS Developer Center, and the iOS Human Interface Guidelines in particular, the sections, "Great iOS Apps Embrace the Platform and HI Design Principles" and "Human Interface Principles".

Alternatively, you may wish to consider building a web app using HTML5. HTML5 is the major new version of HTML and enables audio and video to play natively in the browser without requiring proprietary plug-ins. Using HTML5, web apps look and behave like native iPhone and iPad apps, and using HTML5's Offline Application Cache, your web apps work even when the device is offline. With web apps, you have flexibility to deliver as much or as little functionality as you desire.

If you wish to build an HTML5 web app, you can do so and distribute it directly from your web site. It is not appropriate to submit an HTML5 web app to the App Store.

To get started with iPhone or iPad web apps, please review Getting Started with iPhone Web Apps.

For a description of the HTML elements and attributes you can use in Safari on iPhone, check out Safari HTML Reference: Introduction.

对于没有app store提交经验的同学，我可以友情提示一下，在最上面的那个2.12就是他们具体拒绝的原因。

对于拒绝的理由，我已经有了应对，就回信说明了两点（因为itunes connect只能显示最近一个版本的交流记录，所以找不到我原始的回应了）：
1. 我这个软件在app store上找不到提供类似功能的。这个是专门为了佛教用户群体提供的电子贺卡软件。
2. 我们不想将软件做成Web Apps因为我们希望通过App Store作为收费平台提供收入。

回复发出去后，又是一个星期，突然一天收到邮件，我的App已经在App Store上了！大快人心大快人心！

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝大快人心的分割线＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
过了没两天，发现有用户留言，说我们的图片里有拼写错误，赶快发给我朋友看，果然是有typo！改图片，编译，提交新版本！

又是一个星期，itunes store回信了，尼玛又被拒了啊有木有！！！

Rejected Feb 23, 2012 04:42 PM
Reasons for Rejection:
8.3: Apps which appear confusingly similar to an existing Apple product or advertising theme will be rejected

8.3

We found that your app on both the iPhone and iPad is too similar to the rounded icons in a grid view on the iOS springboard, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

尼玛啊！！！你跟我玩呢啊？！！！早你为神马不拿这个理由来拒我啊？！神马叫做 too similar rounded icons in a grid view on the iOS springboard?!! 尼玛那是你专利么？！！尼玛你找骂是吧？！！二话不说，回信（这回我有记录了）：

Dear support,

Thanks very much for getting back to us. However we cannot agree with the reason this version get rejected, the reasons we cannot agree with you are:

1. Our first version was accepted in the first place, the code in this version hasn't been changed at all. Only thing changed was two typos been fixed in the images we provided.

2. We tried to distinguish our app from the Apple product so the images in grid are double sized of normal app icons. I don't know if this is called 'similar'? Does that mean we cannot use the grid view just because it's a grid with full of icons?

Please consider my two valid points mentioned above and prove my application.

Thanks very much

丫的就是欠骂！我回信的第二天，新版本available了有木有？！！！！

估计能看到这的哥们耐心都是很好滴。。。。

我分享一下心得吧：

都说app store的审查严格是出名的，但是做审查的也是人，是人就是可以讲道理的。他们会有他们的考虑，但是只要我们作为开发者有自己的立场证明自己没错，据理力争就好了。

此外因为每次审查的人都可能不同，所以感觉到每个人都有自己的观点，这就是为什么第二次拒我的软件会跑出来我的软件跟iOS的springboard（春板！哈哈哈哈）类似的理由。还是一样，据理力争，只要自己确实有足够强的理由，app store的审查没有理由不通过的：）

啰哩啰嗦地写了一大堆，希望可以给@livid老大交作业了：）
