Hi Andrew, As someone who has obviously been through this process, I'm hoping you can enlighten me on a few things.
There is a document named "Mac App Store Review Guide" on the Apple Developers web site which includes several things in it that are an issue for me, e.g.: -* Apps that are "beta", "demo", "trial", or "test" versions will be rejected.* My app always runs as a demo until the user buys a license for it and announces itself as such at startup along with an indication of how many days are left in the demo. - *Apps that require license keys or implement their own copy protection will be rejected* As above, I have a licensing scheme built in. -* Apps that present a license screen at launch will be rejected* I do that the first time the program is run and the user has to agree to the terms or the program quits. *- Apps may not use update mechanisms outside of the App Store* I have an update check mechanism that checks against my web site. I guess this also makes me wonder if I can provide a download directly from my web site if I sell through the app store?
