Over the past few weeks we have heard more than a few developers cry about Apple’s attitute towards AppStore applications. Many rejection letters and their content have leaked to blogs and this certainly created -ve PR for Apple and its AppStore.
To curb these instances, Apple is reminding its developers that the contents of their Rejection Mail is under NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement). Mails sent to developers now mention this in bold:
THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS MESSAGE IS UNDER NON-DISCLOSURE
Apple already suffers due to unofficial apps releasing on the iPhone via Jailbreaking (Cydia, Installer etc… Now only hoping that its own developers dont go out and spoil the image!
UPDATE: Apple is dropping the NDA clause!
