Um... the developer was treated wrong. 🙂
Here's the short version who can't be bother to read it all.
Dev: submits a dictionary app
Apple: You can't have offensive words in it, here are some examples AAA, BBB, CCC
Dev: removes those words, resubmits
Apple: This one's offensive too DDD, and it'll have to be 17+ rated
Dev: removes that word, resubmits as 17+
Apple approves it
after the article appears
Schiller: AAA, BBB, CCC, DDD were not the words that got his app rejected or 17+ rated. It's these other secret words that we never told you about.

As Said in post #71 & I Will Say it again, The BIG Missing Piece of the Q&A is as follows;
🙂
The Developer was told by Apple to Wait till 3.0 came out and submit the App so that they could have the Approval due to the New feature of "Parental Control"
The Developer in there haste went ahead anyway and refused to listen to Apple Request. Causing them Multi-bale App Rejections.
Yes, The Developer was also At Fault , They could have averted all this if they had just waited and resubmitted with the 3.0 Firmware Release.
APPLE QUOTE
"Upon its initial submission in May and recommended that the developers resubmit their application after iPhone OS 3.0 was released so that it could carry a "17+" rating and be subject to 3.0's Parental Controls. Rather than choosing that route (as iPhone OS 3.0 had no known ship date at that time), the developers opted to press ahead in advance of Parental Controls implementation and stripped "objectionable" content from the application itself"
This is why they are at fault too, along with the Apple Blunders of Miscommunication that, Small White Car & I have been Speaking Of.
I am not going to get into semantics here or even try to speculate on what either or both party's where thinking, We have had to much speculation on what either party has said and that in turn has blown this all out of proportion.
There are no right or wrong questions and answers to any of this, all we know know is as the facts have come out, Allot of people have misunderstood and jump to conclusions without complete Proof,And this in turn has caused a cascading reaction, that has many different sides & It is clear that all sides in this particular case, had done things that are questionably wrong.
I Don't disagree with your reasoning, if like you say the part of "Waiting for 3.0 to be released so You can have Parental Approval in the new Firmware before Approval" is left out.
But thats not was Said;
Then of course you would be correct in assuming the developer was not at fault.
But the facts are, you left out that one important piece of information and that changes the whole pretense of the subject line. and that of course is the Asking of Apple to the Developer to wait and resubmit the Application under the 3.0 guidelines.
