    I just got a notice from Apple about it on Blue Skies with OpenFeint. They said I wasn't using any location services. Clearly all the testers need to be informed about this.

    And I just had iFishing and iFishing Saltwater Edition rejected for the same reason. Appears they still don't know that any OpenFeint app uses Core Location for nearby high scores.

    Which version of OpenFeint are you using? According to Jason Citron this issue should have been resolved with the latest Open Feint.

    Yeah. Our Kyle is something like One-Man-Gameloft.
    No offense intended! ;)

    Btw, Kyle, will your upcoming card game have the OF feature and do you have any hint when it will be submitted?

    Hi guys,

    I submitted Aftermath with OF 2.4.3 yesterday.

    March 05, 2010 10:11 In Review
    March 04, 2010 17:20 Waiting For Review

    I've come to expect from other people's posts about approval times that once an app goes "In Review" it will be approved/rejected within a few hours. Of course this wouldn't normally be cause for worry but now I'm worried that they will reject it for including OF < 2.4.4. Any news Jason? Anyone else know of other instances where Review has taken > 1 day? Or do they just knock off early on friday afternoons? ;)

    Sad to know. Apple seems to have many issues with devs.

    Hi Guys,

    Can there be a chance Apple reject some app that includes CoreLocation framework even if the application is not asking the user about his/her location by default?

    Just wondering. Thanks.

    they have rules/conditions like this. we had to include a pop-up dialog explaining by submitting high scores; we send user specific information over the network. i would expect that user location information is pretty sensitive - and, hence you would need to inform the user.
