So you want to explicitly warn people that the app is going to take stealth pictures?
The developer had posted the following:
- a passcode unlock is now an option in the app (and if using an iPhone 4 the front camera will take a picture if the incorrect code is entered)
Then posted this:
I got a rejection notice this afternoon. Apple didn't like the way I was using the camera. I made the changes they suggested and immediately re-submitted it. Hopefully I don't need to wait another 7+ days.
The point of the stealth images is to take a picture if the incorrect password is entered (then it can email you the picture of who entered the wrong password). This would be great if the phone was stolen, and you needed proof of who took it.
Sadly, this caused his app to get rejected because Apple doesn't like that it's taking pictures without the permission of the app owner. That is why I asked if the developer would be allowed to if a disclaimer was first shown when opening the app (for the first time), saying that entering an incorrect password would would take a photo and email it to them. (This could be a toggled setting, perhaps?)
Long story short, I suggested it to explicitly warn the owner of the phone of that it can take stealth images of someone who enters the wrong password (not necessarily the same person, especially if the phone is stolen).
fwiw, I'm looking forward to this app too. I have no interest in MobileMe whatsoever beyond it's iPhone locating feature.
Agreed. I bought MobileMe for the web hosting. Once I discovered I could do better with RapidWeaver & real web hosting, I stopped using iWeb and MobileMe hosting. The only thing I use is Find My iPhone and Mail. I'll be cancelling my subscription before the next billing cycle; too expensive for the little uses I get out of it.
