Hi Guys,

I got a rejection by Apple, My App name is “Paint for iPad”, and when downloaded to device, the name under icon is Paint for iPad, also in Itune Connect , the App name is “Paint for iPad”, I got rejected, below is part of statement from Apple.

============================
“We found that your app does not comply with the Guidelines for Using Apple’s Trademarks and Copyrights http:, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines.

Specifically, your app includes the use of “iPad” in the home screen elements (the short name and/or the application icons).”
===============================
My understanding is that, when I build Binary with Corona SDK, I should not use the name as “Paint for iPad”, should say something like MilaPaint or something, not mention iPad, Is it right?

So I need rebuild binary with a name without mention iPad, right?

Thanks in advance.

Mila

Sounds pretty straight forward. You can’t use “iPad” in the game name.

Thanks robmiracle ,

Below is rejection email :

“Your app Paint with Coloring Book for iPad has been reviewed, but we are unable to post this version. For details, or to directly contact the App Review team, visit the Resolution Center in iTunes Connect. Do not reply to this email.”
From above email, It seems review is OK ? just the name issue ?

Thanks

Many times Apple will reject an app based on content in the meta data. Usually you just have to fix that up and they will go ahead and approve the app without having to resubmit the binary. But usually the message says that.

In the case of the app name, it’s part of the binary, so in this case you may have to change it in both iTunes Connect and in your application.

With corona, the app name comes by default from the name of the folder containing mail.lua, though it can be hard coded into the build.settings file.

I’m thinking you are going to have to rebuild and resubmit. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 24804 reply_id: 100582[/import]

Funny… I was just reading iTunes docs yesterday looking for info about achievements.

I saw an explicit statement saying you cannot use other people’s trademarks in your app name and I even think they used iPad in the name as an example not to do. [import]uid: 22392 topic_id: 24804 reply_id: 100615[/import]

Yes, this is also a good experience.

I just want to distinguish same APP, one for iPad and another one for iPhone.

Thanks

Many people use the term “HD” to indicate iPad apps [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 24804 reply_id: 100666[/import]

Also using the Apple iPad name makes it sound like it is an official product from Apple. I think they don’t want the confusion there. [import]uid: 100299 topic_id: 24804 reply_id: 100668[/import]
