The NDA sucked, and now that this bit has dropped, I wonder if developers will be allowed to talk about the "approval process" that Apple uses to let apps in the store - or whatever it is that they use. This is where the real transparency is needed. The guidelines are unclear, and developers drop something into iTunesConnect only to find their app sitting there in a queue with no email, no phone calls, nothing from Apple as to what is going on. It's time to blow the whistle on this and force some transparency. If Apple does not get this bit fixed, it will certainly see developers racing to Android.
How about it Apple? How about some insight into your supposed approval process? Why make developers shell out time and money for creative that you may or may not choose to allow? And you may or may not ever tell what is going on once submitted? This isn't the selection of a new pope...
