Why isn't Shores of Hazeron available in Apple's App Store?
Several reasons prevent us from offering Shores of Hazeron for download through the App Store.
Shores of Hazeron Launcher
The Shores of Hazeron Launcher cannot be submitted to the App Store because of these restrictions, per Apple.
- Apps that download other standalone Apps will be rejected
- Apps may not use update mechanisms outside of the App Store
Well that pretty much sums up the whole reason for Shores of Hazeron Launcher to exist. It downloads updated files for the game and launches the game. Some of the files it updates do contain executable code.
Shores of Hazeron
So why not just submit a good build of the Shores of Hazeron client program and keep it up to date there?
Any one of these reasons prevents us from doing that, per Apple.
- Apps that crash will be rejected (Never?)
- Apps that exhibit bugs will be rejected (None?)
- Apps portraying realistic images of people or animals being killed or maimed, shot, stabbed, tortured or injured will be rejected (Some would giggle at use of the adjective 'realistic', but?)
- Apps that depict violence or abuse of children will be rejected (Somebody killed me as a kid and made clothing out of my hide; does that count? It was violent but is it abuse if my carcass is put to good use?)
I may pursue this one anyway. It depends on what they mean by 'realistic' and 'violence or abuse of children'. The crashes and bugs might be something we can work with.
