Questions from App Store Review Guidelines Document (Additional Questions)

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

  1)  2.6 Apps that read or write data outside its designated container area will be rejected.

        What is the “container area”?

2)  2.8 Apps that install or launch other executable code will be rejected.

      What would be an example of an app launching other executable code?

3)   3.11 apps that recommed that users restart their iOS device prior to installation or launch may be rejected.

     Is there anything I need to watch for to make sure my app doesn’t require the user to restart their iOS device?

4)  3.13 Apps with screenshots, previews, and marketing text that do not clearly identify supplemental content or items that must be purchase d separately (et…using IAP) will be rejected.

     I assume this is talking about in app purchase items. If so, how are the items to be purchased required to be identfied?

 Thanks,

Lori

1.  If your app tries to read or write data outside it’s sandbox, it will be rejected.  Corona SDK shoudn’t allow you to violate this rule.

  1. If you were able to download .lua files into your project and execute them, or download some other program and run it is not allowed.  Corona does not allow you to run downloaded .lua files or other executables.

  2. You would know if you’re asking your user to restart their device.  This is the sign a program is up to mischief like installing malware.  If you’re not doing this, it’s not an issue.  If you’re doing this, you would know you’re doing it :slight_smile:

  3. Yes, they are talking about in-app purchases.  If you have a button that says “Play Game” and that takes you to an iAP page to buy something, you’ve mislead your users.  But if your app says, “Purchase more levels” and then you unlock levels that’s fine.
