New ask Hacker News story: I created a crypto price alert app. Apple rejected it for nonsense
I created a crypto price alert app. Apple rejected it for nonsense

So I'm someone who created an iOS app that tells you whenever either bitcoin or ethereum moves x% up or down. I made this app because I would check prices too often and knew others would want this app too. There are no in app purchases, or ads. I think this is why Apple really rejected it. They don't like the fact that I'm not trying to charge, just providing a free app for the masses in my spare time. The app requires users to use the 'Sign in with Apple' sign in method, so that I can associate price move alerts with accounts. They are rejecting my app because it also shows real-time prices of crypto assets. They say I need to move these price checks to be before the sign-in prompt. I can do this, but the whole episode just irked me the wrong way. What's their freaking problem? Coinbase makes you sign in before showing you crypto prices, so why am I being singled out? Or do you just reject new apps for no reason because you have to show you're doing something? I try to see the best in Apple, I really do. I've shipped 15 iOS apps for them, but they irritate the hell out of me.
