That is complete BS...
"Apple relaxing over time" is just a cop out for the real reason Apple just refuses to say.... What proof are they trying to hide ?
An app developer deserves to know why, or why not their app was removed, put back etc... *exactly why* not a vague description.
Apple's just trying to be smart, instead of telling the truth...
It's not like it's a secret, like an update waiting to come fourth on OS X or iOS...its a app, so its already public..... It was just pulled for wrong reasons, Apple later re-instated because of so-called "changes" to a limited version that does more caught Apple's "limited span"
I agree that changes happen with policies, but again, i have to keep coming back to the old ways of saying "often people do not communicate well with each other inside Apple. If everyone agreed on the same rules set forth and never allow something originally that's not present in the rules, then there won't be a problem."
No wonder why developers choose to release apps outside of the App Store.. And for good reason. I would have. No app developer should have to put up with these constant changes that no one at Apple can even agree on, but later decide to change back...... across any app they choose.
Policies are there for a reason..... I understand its something users must follow, but i didn't know Apple could break them either. But that's what they are doing.
