Apple: Sorry, your Mac app is a copycat of your iOS app. So you're rejected
- SllX 2y agoTo be fair to him, the one guy reviewing Mac App Store submissions probably doesn’t have a lot to do most of the day when work is slow at his other job except nitpick and argue with developers because his job at Apple is reviewing submissions for the Mac App Store.
- imWildCat 2y agoYeah I totally agree with you. They cannot prove their value without doing so. That's a misaligned incentive from the perspectives of both Apple and developers. This should be improved. Otherwise, I don't want to waste any more time flighting with these pointless stuff.

- andrewmcwatters 2y agoWhenever I read stories like this I just think to myself how sad it is that people put themselves in positions where they're going to throw their time away. Is there a repository of these stories? I'm thinking about starting one.
- imWildCat 2y agoLet's create one to hold them accountable. I also tried to be a "good Apple citizen". Last weekend, I even appealed via their "official" channel.

- andrewmcwatters 2y agoYep, I'm creating my own collection of these now.[1] I keep reading about how ridiculous they are and I think it would be fun to make a list. [1]: https://github.com/andrewmcwattersandco/app-store-rejections https://github.com/andrewmcwattersandco/app-store-rejections
- imWildCat 2y agoAppendix from the author: Update (4pm, May 8, 2024 PDT): After 95 hours, 4 rejections, an X post, Twilar Mac was approved ~10 minutes ago, without any significant change. We're glad they finally figured out this thing. But the cost of my time/life is too high.
- pointlessone 2y agoThis looks especially good while Apple tries to fight EU and Epic on how great their App Store is.
