You and what army

Was recently involved in an App Store approval process. Found the description below to be charitable (and still accurate three years later). Quote: “add that to the iPhone Developer Guidelines: All requests for information must be submitted in writing from an organization with a standing army and the power to levy taxes.”

Footnote: The app in question was finally approved thanks to the intervention of someone from the problem resolution group, to whom I am grateful. But the process should not have required his intervention in the first place. The whole experience was indeed one “I didn’t know they could do that” after another. In the world’s most litigious society, no less.
