Apple strictly followed to ensure that in the iPhone apps developers not to implement any unauthorized functions and features. It is for this reason, and was removed from the App Store app Camera +. It is considered one of the best and very popular among users, ranking first in the lists best-selling programs and bring the developer Tap Tap Tap more than half a million dollars profit in two months.
The reason Apple such a step was the discovery that two hardware volume control buttons on the side panel of the device used when the application is not on purpose. In Camera + they performed shutter function.
It's worth noting that the developers of Tap Tap Tap have implemented this feature called VolumeSnap in without permission Apple application. This happened after its use have been formally requested to be considered in the framework plugins. What is important, then Apple rejected this addition. Now, when it became clear that the function has been implemented yet secretly, despite the ban, in Cupertino just blocked Camera + and removed from the App Store.
Here's how Apple representatives explained the reason for the deviation additions:
"Your application can not be added to the App Store, because it uses iPhone volume controls for other purposes that may mislead users. Changing the iPhone external hardware is a violation of the License Agreement in the framework of cooperation with the developers for the iPhone. All applications must operate in accordance with the recommendations for software developers, iPhone Human Interface Guidelines, and as described in Chapter 3.3.7 of the agreement. "
To add more functions to their program, many developers do not only Tap Tap Tap, intentionally did not specify some of the features in the review on, do not display them in the screenshots. Their goal - to get approval and access to the App Store. Only then the user is informed about the hidden possibilities of the program. These tricks Apple applies very strictly, down to the non-cooperation with cunning developers. Fortunately, in the case of the creators of Camera + has not happened yet.
