Apps that use deprecated or optionally installed technologies (e.g.,
Java, Rosetta) will be rejected

Apps that are "beta", "demo", "trial", or "test" versions will be
rejected

Apps that download or install additional code or resources to add
functionality or change their primary purpose will be rejected

Apps that require license keys or implement their own copy protection
will be rejected

Apps that present a license screen at launch will be rejected

Apps that request escalation to root privileges or use setuid
attributes will be rejected

Apps that add their icons to the Dock or leave short cuts on the user
desktop will be rejected

platform will be rejected

Apps which appear confusingly similar to an existing Apple product or

Sind sie Wahnsinns fette Opfer???? Mit iPhone kann man das ja machen,
aber mit einem Apple Mac????

Living document

This document represents our best efforts to share how we review apps submitted to the Mac App Store, and we hope it is a helpful guide as you develop and submit your apps. It is a living document that will evolve as we are presented with new apps and situations, and we'll update it periodically to reflect these changes.

Thank you for developing for Mac OS X. Even though this document is a formidable list of what not to do, please also keep in mind the much shorter list of what you must do. Above all else, join us in trying to surprise and delight users. Show them their world in innovative ways, and let them interact with it like never before. In our experience, users really respond to polish, both in functionality and user interface. Go the extra mile. Give them more than they expect. And take them places where they have never been before. We are ready to help.

Das ist ja erstmal nur eine weitere Möglichkeit Programme auf seinem Mac zu installieren.
Dennoch finde ich einige Bedingungen bedenklich und vieles ist interpretationsbedürftig, sprich ermöglicht Willkür.

Ein Beispiel:
Apps that crash will be rejected
Welche Anwendung bekommt man nicht irgendwie mal zum Absturz? Folglich müßten quasi alle Anwendungen ausgeschlossen werden, wenn man nur lange genug sucht. :rolleyes:

Richtige Spiele sollten schon daran scheitern:
Apps that rapidly drain a products battery or generate excessive heat will be rejected.

Mich stört eher, dass Anwendungen wie Path Finder ein Problem haben. Das wird so ein Casual Store werden. Prinzipiell ist es mit einem Store so, dass man ein gewissen Qualitätsniveau braucht, sonst schauen die Leute nach ersten schlechten Erfahrungen nicht mehr rein.

Zu deinen Punkten. Damit sind Anwendungen gemeint, die nicht stabil laufen. Spiele sind damit nicht gemeint, sondern einfach nur Anwendungen, die darauf angelegt sind den Nutzern zu schaden.

Aber da werden bzw. müssen einige Punkte noch rausfliegen.

Aber es ist immer noch MacOSX, da wird man trotzdem seine Programme noch so kaufen können. Daher mache ich mir hier keinen Stress.

Wenn es im AppStore was gibt, was etwas taugt, dann nehme ich es. Wenn es ein freies Proggi besser macht, dann nehme ich eben lieber das.
