RE the iOOTP update, which will include a new game icon, among other things: It has been submitted again to Apple for approval. This is the third submission: The first time it was rejected for the size of the saved game file, which the reviewer said violated the iCloud policy, even though we have never enabled iCloud saving because we knew about said policy.



Sebastian went back and forth with the reviewer and got nowhere, so he decided to try again and see if he got a new reviewer who might be easier to work with. The second time, they rejected it for the size of the save *and* the ad for OOTP 15 on the main screen.



So, Sebastian removed that ad and submitted the update a third time. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about the size of the saved game, so we're hoping he can get it through. The iCloud policy violation has been brought up before, but each time Sebastian was able to finally get the game through after explaining that we don't enable iCloud saves. This time, they have either tightened their attitude toward that policy (or toward violations in general) or he has gotten bad luck with reviewers. Hopefully it's the latter and the update will be available soon.



Unfortunately, this is the kind of thing that is completely out of our control. If it gets rejected again, Sebastian will have to see if he can go through an appeals process or something.

What exactly is the rule? If it refers to only the size of iCloud saves, any dummy could look in their iCloud settings and see that iOOTP doesn't use iCloud.

Thanks for the response.
