Apple missed in the App Store with screenshots of Android
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Not every user knows that right now Apple does not pass an application in the App Store, if they present a symbol of the green robot, or have even the slightest mention of Android. But today, in the field of iOS-developers got Quellenhof deluxe app ...
Judging by the description of the application, it is dedicated to the hotel, located in a cozy village in the south of Italy. But we are not going to tell any of the property or his beauty, nor of the benefits of this application.
If you go to Quellenhof deluxe app page in iTunes, we see Android-devaysa screenshots instead of iPhone and iPad. How could this happen, it is hard to imagine. Applications are often denied because of the little things that are contrary to the rules of the Code of Apple. And such incidents just like someone's cruel joke.
They are flooding the App Store with crap apps that use Android screenshots and are not even loading after startup... pic.twitter.com/JhvuUm3oeT

We asked some developers, as they relate to the fact that Apple does not pass an application with the mention of Android.
I treat this with understanding. Of course, I can not say that I know exactly the reasons why Apple does so, but I'm sure she has a lot of reasons. If we talk about personal attitude, I would place Apple would fit more selective, that is not rejections would for any mention of the word Android, and would understood the context in which it used.
Viktor Kozlov,
Android references in iOS-applications, in fact, is advertising. Although most of it is advertising version of the application developer, but also indirect Android advertising. I think, Apple has the right to prohibit such advertising on its platform competitor. It would be strange to see a Pepsi advertising on Coca-Cola cans. For myself, as a developer, I do not see any prejudice or inconvenience. If the user uses the application iOS-Android-devices and applications they like itself, he is sure to find version of the app on Android without any additional advertising. Mentions Android on the Internet, for example on the developer's site, nobody forbids.

Over recent years, Android is becoming increasingly serious competitor to Apple's mobile products. Against this background, it seems quite natural Apple refuse to publish on their information about the Android platform. The Cupertino gradually got rid of Google intellectual property traces distributed with iOS (Google Maps, YouTube), now it has come to Android references. Update one of our applications ( "Yakitoria") is not missed in the App Store because of the mention of the version for Android in the news that users see in the film. We have set up special filters, which allowed to publish news selectively, depending on the platform. This solved the problem.

Sometimes Apple guideline is too strict, and some applications are unfair rejections as happened recently with the Breaking. It is one thing - to place the screenshot inscription: "Available in Google Play», and the other - just a word in the title of the article. Sometimes moderators are too picky to applications, without delving into the situation (written Android - means bad).
