I was able to get a couple of apps approved, but I have perfected my forelock-pulling and wheedling skills. I always deal with them very respectfully and deferentially.
Basically, I support Apple’s “walled garden.” It’s a pain to deal with, but it makes their App Store a lot more valuable.
There is a lot of loud, vocal, opposition to it, but the vast majority of regular (as in non-geek) people like it just fine.
I agree. While I wasn't happy with the outcome, I do respect it and would not do anything to actively work around it. Just pulled the feature and moved on with the app.
The fact that they took the time to explain and justify the rejection made all of the difference. I have been on the receiving end with Google and it's much more difficult to deal with.
