To the developer of this app:

You know about Apple's inconsistent and oppressive policies. If you still choose to develop on the IPhone platform, you can't raise hell if your app gets rejected for any reason.

By continuing to develop on the IPhone, you are not giving Apple any reason to change its policies. If Apple sees that it is losing market share then they'll take steps to be more open and developer-friendly.

I always hear people saying that "I hate Apple's app approval policies, however, I'd still buy their products because they are so good."

It's like saying "I hate how China violates human rights but I'd still buy products made in China because they are of good quality and affordable."



Even better, buy Apple products, which are made in China, for that elusive "double hypocrisy slam"
