rejected on 2.2 and nipples

Hi I could do with a little help on an rejection I have little knowledge on 2.2 "We found that your app exhibited one or more bugs, when reviewed on iPhone 5 and iPad running iOS 6.0.1, on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. On launch, your app loads into an image capture dialog. On iPhone, tapping the refresh button eventually causes your app to load to the expected menu." Also the app is a cool USA sculptor called Bill Mack and they dont like logo which has tasteful pic with woman in bronze but you can see a nipple, (leonardo would not have liked apple) it tells me I just need to change logo via metadata but dont I need to resubmit binary to change logo? Any help appreciated

I can't help you with the nipple. But... Make sure you have the most recent config.txt copied into your xcode when you build for distribution. And I mean identical. You don't want the apple reviewers to see any change when they hit the refresh button. You might not have been seeing the same behavior as they did if you had anything cached in your simulator or device.

I don't think you need to re-submit the binary to change the icon - just click edit next to "version information" and upload a new one

I will do that stobe, do you mean copying config file from buzz to config in app. Also may I ask I thought I may need to adapt 1.5 app for ios6? Thanks Absentia, I have changed the logo. Thanks for all the help PS stobe - didnt you have two robots fighting each other as your pic originally - I think the new pick is more friendly, I never liked trusted the green robot. pps - the nipple business is like telling the statue of David to cover up. I worry that we have a society that is scared of a nipple, I question the existence of Paris Hilton and she has two nipples avialable to the world. (dear paris never trust a boyfriend with a video camera)

I'm not sure if changing the icon in iTunes connect will change what the users get in their bundle download (the zipped binary). But it might suffice apple? I just submitted two 1.5 apps without problem, although they were "offline" so apple would not see the refresh button. So the last step before you click "archive" or "build for archive" with your distribution profile should always be copying the config (from the cp) and pasting it into your bt_config.txt file in xcode. This way, when someone (and apple) first runs your app, they get the "finished" app. PS, yes, I used to have the apple vs android avatar. Traded that for my buzzcast icon.

right, I wasn't even thinking about the actual user icons - I guess if they rejected the metadata all they want is the big one though..unless it slipped the reviewers mind.

Hey guys! I'm having the same rejection issue: We found that your app exhibited one or more bugs, when reviewed on iPad (3rd Gen) running iOS 6.0.1, on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. My bt_config.txt is updated and is the same as the one at Configuration Data URL. Any other suggetions? I there any point in downloading the whole project again? I have made a couple of chances on Xcode (add some ads, custom buttons, etc) so I prefer not to.

I finally got approved! I didnt download the project again, what I did was: - Not modifying the app in BT while it is under review (I dont remember doing this the first time I submited but I made sure not to do it this time) - Validate json with http://jsonlint.com/. - Change "screen names" for easy names without special character. I was using a screen name with ":" and another one with "&". I updated my config.txt, rebuilt, resent, re-waited and got approved.

@AlmaR for "screen names" do you mean "Screen Nickname"? I got the same rejection and think I also may have modified while under review. I'll updated my config.txt and try again. @strobe, any chance you might be able to make a little video to show " So the last step before you click "archive" or "build for archive" with your distribution profile should always be copying the config (from the cp) and pasting it into your bt_config.txt file in xcode.

Hey, whatever happened to Marko anyway? Haha, back on topic - I'm neither of those people, but I'll try to help you out. it's probably a good idea to avoid special characters on everything - screen nicknames, navigation text, image names, etc. I don't know if it's necessary to go that extreme, but it can't hurt to play it safe. The only thing I can think of that actually requires a special characters is images, specifically when you are designating them as retina or iPad images ([email protected] and image~ipad.png) I'll try to do an easy explanation of what Stobe is talking about. When you go to your project on Buzztouch, you will see a "Configuration Data" option on the left side (or it may be on the top depending on where you are in the control panel). Click this and you will be taken to a screen that shows all of your config data. Copy ALL of it (easy way - just click inside the text box and hit Cmd+A). Now go to your Xcode project and expand the BT_Config folder - there you will find the BT_config.txt file. Click that file and you will once again see a bunch of config data. Now you just need to paste the config data that you copied from the control panel over ALL of that config data. That should do it..your app will now be up to data and reviewers will be getting the "finished" version of your app

Hi Absentia I have been lost and now I am found, it's great to see the forum thread being of use. Will properly be back in a week, but before there becomes a wake, beautiful women crying at my sad demise(a unrealistic desire), lassie not leaving my graveside, David writing an app in memorium to my obtuse questions, Fred and mac apple cracking open a bottle of fine whiskey, and north by north west doing my eulogy. I would like to say I joined the foreign legion but the truth is so less interesting. mark
