Apple rejects Hey for second time, threatens removal from App Store
I get the feeling we're only seeing half the story here. Apple allows a lot of apps which have outside subscriptions, Basecamp is a perfect example. Also, Netflix and Amazon Prime for a long time. The outside subscription requirement is probably not the issue here.I'm not advocating for Apple here, this particular post just strikes me as being an odd exception.Just a wild guess here, but it's likely they have some language like "Click here to subscribe" which sends users to an outside link. That is expressly forbidden.UPDATE: The MacRumors story is more coherent and perhaps has a clue to why the app got rejected: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/06/16/apple-threatens-to-remo...Maybe their odd "Help Me" page is shooting them in the foot. by comparison, Fastmail has a simple "Can't Log In" button which takes you to the Fastmail support page on lost passwords.
