U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites (bbc.co.uk)

Feel like i've been waiting for days and they keep rejecting for silly things. The first time they randomly rejected and said "Your app does not need login services. Let users freely roam and use the features of the app"

???

anyways I explained to them why there's a gamification aspect in the app and users level up after a task they do. Then they agreed that its fine to have a login option, but sent a new error.

now I'm on submission 8. fingers crossed this is the one.

Based on how much rubbish is in the App Store, it is shocking to me – but getting that first approval can be really brutal. Took me well over a month last October/November as it kept getting rejected for things that I considered very much outside the purview of App Store review†, and this was for a simple and straight forward client portal for our company. If I didn't know better, I'd think they don't want you building free apps.

†my favourite was that on one of our menu screens the bottom button was slightly obscured by the tab bar at the bottom, so of course that was a failure. I'm not sure when they started this sort of semi-QA type of service, but I suspect no one asked for it.
