ClickWheel: The iPod Simulator

Here's your free awesome marketing tagline.

"With this app, the iPhone comes full circle."
 
Sometimes I despair of the fact that so many people's social skills are so lacking these days that they can't even raise an issue or counter a point without being rude and aggressive.

The developer's put a lot of work into this - what's wrong with just politely pointing out the problems he might have getting it approved without almost flaming him?

Thank you, I was thinking the same thing

"With this app, the iPhone comes full circle."
Definitely going in the description

For all those interested
I submitted it on 6th August, so 17 days down the line and still no responce from apple.
However, I have recieved two emails like this:
Your application, ClickWheel 0.1, is requiring unexpected additional time for review. We apologize for the delay, and will update you with further status as soon as we are able.

Thank you for your patience.

Regards,
iPhone Developer Program

With all the news surrounding the app store policies loosening and Phil intervening with some of the approvals, my nerves are at an all time high!

They are probably wondering why they didn't think of this themselves and how they can deny you and release a TV commercial with the click wheel at the same time.
 
While you're waiting, create another version (or versions) in parallel without the :apple: logo (that is definitely a no-no) and perhaps has a slight variation (octagon vs. circle and/or different font for MENU) just to be safe, and submit as a different app.

That way, you're not starting from scratch if you get rejected.

Apple did think of it already, and designed the iPod app regardless. This is a novelty that people will be tired of within an hour.

And as already stated, read the guidelines before spending all your time coding just so people can read another David & Goliath App Store sob story.

I can see where you are coming from but I can't see how I could change the design that would still keep the authenticity of the app.

Also, somebody said you can submit apps to cydia, but for the life of me I don't know how, could you share?

If it gets rejected from App Store, I will help you put it on Cydia, you have to submit it to one of the major repos for it to become public. Practically every app that is submitted is accepted.
 
^What about the Cydia Store? He might want to make a buck.

Also, it was nice of Interscope to allow you to use their artists' music in your teaser.
 
Its a nice little app. If apple do reject it, it would probably be stupid of them as the app would probably attract a few more customers especially if they used it in their TV ads.

The apple logo doesn't feature in the app, that is entirely for promotion

That's good. But then it's also misleading. And Apple will check if your site is valid, as they have rejected apps just because the site it references is not live.

Regardless, as I've been saying repeatedly, it would be wise to modify your interface so it is not infringing in Apple's eyes. A parallel submission would be a good idea.

Give away the source code. :D

It would be great for the pirate community. I expect to see this app on a fake HiPhone from china and no buck for all the hard work if this doesn't get approved.

It's like throwing a delicious sandwich to the sharks.
 
I would love to get my hands on the source code for free on my Jail-Broken iPhone if this doesn't get approved.
 
I love all the people that want it for free, or even better, want the SOURCE CODE for free! The developer put a good amount of time into making it. Giving away the source code would be the worst idea ever if he ever wanted to make any money off it. Which he clearly does since he is planning on selling it for 99¢.
