蘋果公司說，它錯誤地刪除了與pebble相容的應用程式

蘋果手錶（applewatch）剛剛接觸到客戶的手中，已經引起了人們對蘋果將如何與新對手競爭的疑問。至少有幾個開發者在Pebble論壇上報道說，蘋果拒絕應用程式更新，因為它提到了一個競爭平臺Pebble。SeaNav US iOS應用程式的一位開發人員說，蘋果拒絕了該應用程式的更新，該應用程式支援Pebble兩年，併在應用程式描述和後設資料中這樣說。蘋果在其App Store審查指南檔案中引用了這一...

3.1 - Apps or metadata that menti*** the name of any other mobile platform will be rejected

3.1 Details

We noticed that your app or its metadata contains irrelevant platform information in the app. Providing future platform compatibility plans, or other platform references, is not appropriate for the App Store.

Specifically, your app and app description declare support for the Pebble Smartwatch.

Next Steps

Please remove any instances of this information from your app and its marketing materials, including the Application Description, What's New info, Previews and screenshots.

Since your iTunes Connect Application State is Rejected, a new binary will be required. Make the desired metadata changes when you upload the new binary.

NOTE: Please be sure to make any metadata changes to all App Localizati*** by selecting each specific localization and making appropriate changes.

蘋果表示，不會拒絕與其他平臺相容的應用程式

據開發者稱，新版本中對Pebble的支援沒有任何變化。另一位開發者附和道：“我確認蘋果拒絕在後設資料中提及Pebble的更新。我們的截圖中有一個鵝卵石的影象，我們不得不刪除它。”但其他人註意到，他們的應用程式提到鵝卵石，並透過了蘋果的提交過程。

在被拒絕的訊息傳出後，蘋果公司對《商業內幕》表示，它不會拒絕使用Pebble裝置的應用程式或應用程式更新。Pebble還附和了Reddit，稱其正在與蘋果公司合作，蘋果公司對現有應用程式可能會被炒魷魚的擔憂做出了“超級反應”：

Update: Still a work-in-progress, but we're working with Apple to clear up any misunderstandings to make sure rejecti*** like the handful of recent ones don't happen again—they're being super resp***ive the concerns that bubbled up (much appreciated!). Apps are still getting approved with menti*** of Pebble support in the description or metadata (e.g. RunKeeper). For now, developers should continue with their iOS app update plans and approval submissi*** to the iTunes store as normal (i.e. include Pebble support in your app info if that was your original intent).

到目前為止，蘋果的政策是禁止開發者在應用程式中提及“任何其他移動平臺”，沒有證據表明這是更大趨勢的一部分。
