I made a free promotional app i.DecideSP to promot i.Decide,which is a decision maker in i.DecideSP ,when user spin, the screen will seams cracked this is a promo app based on i.Decide but has nothing to with decision maker. hey! do you want to pull a prank on your friends? tell them how handy to make decisions with i.Decide . it will do much better if you have the original version of i.Decide. Just show them i.Decide,Then discretely switch over to i.DecideSP and ask your friend to start it off. Unsuspectingly, the screen will appear cracked! Your friend will immediately think that your device is broken! All you have to do is shake the device to reset it. There are several other effects to keep the fun going! but I got reject today says below Thank you for submitting your application to App Store. Unfortunately, your application, i.DecideSP, cannot be added to the App Store because it uses standard iPhone screen images in a non-standard way, potentially resulting in user confusion. Changing the behavior of standard iPhone graphics, actions, and images, or simulating failures of those graphics, actions, or images is a violation of the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement which requires applications to abide by the Human Interface Guidelines. Please refer to the attached screenshots as examples. that mean this kind od app will not allowed? what should I do? edit in 11-4 I changed to when you touch the screen, the pointer will fly away,and after a month,it's finally out http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=333208454&mt=8
It's because it shows the screen cracking. Apple hasn't allowed that for awhile now. Remove the cracked screen image and it should be fine.
thanks ,but cracking thing is what this app all about you mean remain the app, just remove the screenshot?
You have to remove that feature from the app. Removing the screen shot only will not get it approved. You have to remove the screen crack from the app entirely. You can't display an iPhone failure of any kind. You can't use a iPhone image in your app that could be misrepresented. If you could get around by not using the crack screen then you should be fine. So you will have to find another alternative. Could you explain more on why you display the crack? im not sure what your app is about from looking at the screen shots.
It seems a bit silly Apple won't allow that. It's not like anybody's going to believe their screen is cracked.
You would be surprised lol There are some people out there who would believe that they may have broke their phone on accident. If you read technical support faqs you would see things like Problem: If your computer has trouble turning on Solution: Make sure it is plugged in
here is what this app for this is a promo app based on i.Decide but has nothing to with decision maker. hey! do you want to pull a prank on your friends? tell them how handy to make decisions with i.Decide . it will do much better if you have the original version of i.Decide. Just show them i.Decide,Then discretely switch over to i.DecideSP and ask your friend to start it off. Unsuspectingly, the screen will appear cracked! Your friend will immediately think that your device is broken! All you have to do is shake the device to reset it. There are several other effects to keep the fun going! this app is free,just to promot i.Decide,but if this cracking thing cannot be allowed this app is useless
You are going to have to come up with another strategy with that. One thing I can think of to savage your promo app is this: i.DecideSP can test the personality type of the person holding the device. You can make up a fictional story like: This app can determine the personality type by how the user holds the phone and detects the heart rate in the user's hand. The personality type would be: "I am a good decision maker" or "I am indecisive person who can't make up my mind" Explain the pros of someone who is a good decision maker. Good decision maker leads to: Successful life. Indecisive: Won't get anywhere in life because no decision is made. Go up to a friend who thinks they are successful and play the joke on them. Let iDecide run when you hold it and it points to you being a good decision maker therefore you are a successful person. Then have a secret tap on the screen that triggers it into prank mode. Then when your friend holds it. It will keep on showing indecisive. You can switch the trigger around so that others around you are decisive and your victim isn't. But yeah just some ideas you can bounce off of this one. Just make sure you word the description right and let users know the app is fictional and just for fun so it isn't misleading. Hope that helps
Wasn't there a story about someone downloaded an app that actually showed an image of a broken screen and he went to the Apple store trying to get a replacement for his "broken" iPhone?
thanks a lot but maybe I will just let it go, because cracking thing make is fun and then be a good promot app, without it.I don't think it will do some good on promot i.Decide hope i.Decide will be ready soon thanks again
If this is just a promotional app leading up to the official iDecide (which I assume is essentially a "magic 8-ball" program), and your goal is to have the spinner not give a decision - just have it go haywire, let the arrow spin out of control and fly off of its hinge, or have the spinner board crack (not the screen, so it's ok) and fall apart. Perhaps have it act like it can't hear you, so you'd hand it off to your buddy and tell him/her to ask a question only to have the app respond in a "huh?" or "what was that?" "say it louder!". I know the latter idea is harder to pull off since it is a spinner and not a slowly revealing answer, but the first one should work to introduce the app without giving away all of the features. Maybe to add to my original suggestion, a person could flick the arrow (so it spins in the full app) but in the demo it just comes off, or breaks in half. Point is, when there is a will - there is a way, don't give up. It is a good idea to come out with a free version so people will notice your creation when it comes out in its entirety.
It sorta is. Someone sent a complaint email to apple and they took it seriously. I bet the person was joking, but now this stupid rule is in place. I have an explosion app with a broken screen thingy and it's in the app store.
thanks ,Iwill try to find a way to do it i.Decide has just ready for sale, check it out http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=328302493&mt=8
I choose two words you said into the info of i.Decide Good decision maker leads to Successful life. Indecisive won't get anywhere in life because no decision is made. I think those words are amazing thanks
instead of screen cracking, you might have mermaids swimming all over the screen, so you'd promote two apps at the same time
I uploaded i.DecideSP, this time, no cracked thing, just when you touch the pointer, it will fly away,thanks for all your guys help. you make it come true. very grateful about that hope you can see it soon, and it's totally free
