Twitter like App rejected [closed]

Image
By User



I have an App which is rejected which behaves as the Twitter App on the ground that:







10.4 Apps that create alternate desktop/home screen environments or simulate multi-app widget experiences will be rejected







with as description:







We found your app includes a dashboard view which presents multiple windows at once, and is therefore not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.





The iOS Human Interface Guidelines allow for multiple screens in an app but access to these screens should always be sequential, never simultaneous.





Please see the attached screenshot/s for more information.





It would be appropriate to modify your app by determining an alternate way users can accomplish the same task in a single screen or a sequence of screens.







The screenshot attached is seen below. Can anybody explain what exactly the reason is, looking at the Twitter App. Anybody with a similar experience and a possible solution apart from completely dashing the current interface and putting the ordinary split view controller in?

    While I applaud your implementation, it wont make Apple approve you any faster or even at all.

    The reason they are rejecting, as they say, is because you can interact with all of those views at once. Standard navigation would push one view over the top of the last using the navigationController and sliding effect. Because Apple views this as a widget type effect where everything is all still running at the same time, you are getting the boot.

    One suggestion might be to take a look at how Path and Facebook are implementing the navigation controllers with the slide out effect. You could probably implement something similar where you can just slide the old and the new views on screen. You still need to completely obscure the other views I think to pacify Apple for this rejection. Sorry their ruling wasn't more favorable. Good luck with your appeal and/or corrections.

    They also say going to the press upon rejection doesn't help your appeal. Just FYI. I went through one appeals process and said "My app is just like X" and they said (literally), "Thanks for your feedback, unfortunately...."

    I'd keep your appeals to yourself (not trying to be mean).

    Last piece of advice is to make sure there are no detectable errors or incomplete parts of your app. The more polished it is going in the better.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
