Bluntly, I expect an apology. You know who you are, and your apologia just got shredded like the tinsel it was.
angelad - No, iAds is about inserting adverts into other people's content, then taking 40% of the resultant revenue. And you can bet it's going to replace any other schemes (no competition!) with Apple's one-size-fits-all adverts, which tends to pay a small fraction of the price of properly targeted ads. |
I guess your referring to me? you could just act like a normal person and say who you are referring to, its all a bit childish and unnecessary. and maybe you mean someone else? oh well I'll reply.
As i have said numerous times Apple are WELL known to refuse apps for numerous potentially ridiculous reasons! ANYONE who is planning to invest time and money into developing them should be aware that there is the potential for their app to be refused. The devs designing these apps KNOW how the system works Aplle may refuse my app for any reason even one I would never expect.
Its Apples shop and they have the right to refuse entry to whoever they want and for any reason they want(before you take that to the Nth degree of course they legally cant decline an app cos it was made by a women etc etc)
You claim to know many devs, are they all stupid? When you choose to become a lion tamer you know the risks! and when that lion bites you its stupid to blame the Lion as it was just doing what Lions do! and you knew that could happen going in.
Any dev who moans about having an app declined(whilst it being understandable that they would due to the frustration and anger and time wasted) needs to remember that they CHOSE to develop for an app system that has this situation around it. No one forced them to do this they can go and make android apps.
Whats that they will make more money on Apple devices... oh right well then they have a decision to make dont they.
Oh the poor devs how will they manage? well maybe they just need to take a look at their bank balance thats how and remember if Apple hadnt created the device, the ability to put apps onto it and the app store and spent millions advertising it then no one would be buying apps and maybe then the devs would be happy? and if they dont like it DONT DESIGN for it
simple.
iAd is awesome,
I get apps in many free apps now and the apple ones looked no worse to me than any others.
But wait its about the poor Devs again!
Apple will take 40% of the money
although of course apple are both signing the contracts inserting the adds attracting the companies etc and managing the entire ad process thus freeing up the devs time. Do you know what devs could do though if they dont think it will be better for them.... NOT USE iAd!
