In wake of WWDC joy, @mjtsai remains an excellent resource for critical roundups of developer-hostile Apple news e.g. http://mjtsai.com/blog/2014/06/08/editorial-1-1-1-rejected-from-the-app-store/ …

@danielpunkass @mjtsai how much of that is hostility vs. procedural fuckupedness though?

@reneritchie @mjtsai I.e. the fact that greater minds at Apple would agree it’s bullshit doesn’t effectively limit the impact on developers.

@danielpunkass @mjtsai it’s the randomness that’s terrible. Technically it should never have gotten in, not gotten in and then rejected?

@reneritchie @danielpunkass No fan of the randomness, but I think the rule itself is more terrible. Apps not allowed to download text files!

@mjtsai @danielpunkass Any text file or just text files containing code?
