Hi @tinyCoder32,
I had a few rejections from Apple at the start of the process, but I don't ever remember getting this one so, unfortunately, I don't know what the answer to this is.
Doing some research, most of the apps I have found that have hit this issue are music apps. Does your app have the ability to play back music, or is the only media it plays from via the PodcastIndex? Could the name/description of your app give the reviewer at Apple the impression that your app is music based rather than podcast based?
I hope you work it out! Let me know how you get on.
Thanks,
Ben.
Hi @tinyCoder32,
Have you had any luck getting your app into the store?
Hello there. In some parts of our education app, we have used some codes from Anytime Podcast Player, particularly, the API that pulls data from PodcastIndex for some educational categories.
However, our app was rejected at the Apple Store due to what they categorized as "Legal", and this is their statement:
We have carefully reviewed PodcastIndex's ToS and found nothing that prevents showing the podcasts in our app since it's a public API for public data, and it is for sure impossible to ask for written approval from podcasters because Apple randomly picks Podcast content from the app and asks for written approval on publishing it!
Can you advise us how you guys did it to publish your app on the App Store?
Thanks for the great work.
