Rejected for Cleverness
Posted on February 4, 2010
The latest X3watch iPhone app update got rejected. Here some of the highlights from the rejection email:
We have reviewed your application and have found that it is accessing and displaying the contents of the iPhone OS filesystem outside of your designated container area. The iPhone Developer Program License Agreement provides specific guidelines about this behavior in section 3.2(e).
There is no public method for obtaining the device's restriction settings. You will need to revise your application to read only within your directory container and resubmit your binary to iTunes Connect in order for your application to be reconsidered for the App Store.
They think that I'm using some private API and going outside of the application sandbox to see if Safari is enabled. This made me laugh. I'm just being really clever. Here's the code to see if Safari is enabled:
+ (BOOL)hasSafariEnabled {
return [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://xxxchurch.com"]];
}
I sent them an email with this code explaining I didn't break any rules. They never replied, but we got an approval email 2 days later. Silly Apple.
Trying to Teach Web Development
Posted on January 14, 2010
Lately I've been trying to teach an awesome friend front-end web development. It's so hard to even know where to begin.
I started writing HTML when I was 10 years old. Back then, it was easy. We were writing our tags in all caps (HOW AWFUL), not closing tags if we didn't feel like it, frames were regarded as professional, and the animated gif was cool (some would say it still is).
I remember when Javascript became popular and JavascriptKit.com was the place to get copy and paste scripts for your site. I can remember when CSS started to become popular and when table layouts finally died out. It was easy to pick stuff. The technologies evolved at the rate that I learned them (which was awesome).
