My app problem halved which is due for release this week may have a 17 plus on it.

Does this mean I can't give out promo codes for people to have a look at it?

Seems stupid to me.

i think this is crazy… i mean a devoloper should have full rights to their app even if it is 17+ because well, they made it.

I have teens and pre-teens and think Apple’s efforts to keep the App Store relatively clean are good. I have no problem with this. I also think the restrictions settings should be able to block embeded browsers in addition to blocking Safari, You Tube, etc.

It should be easy to fix. They just have a popup to verify age after entering the code? Maybe it requires a new iTunes client, but then it can just reject certain codes if the iTunes is < X version. I guess it’s just not worth the hassle to them?

It seems that porn app that did the switchero on Apple has ruined for everyone. Now they are paranoid that every thing that connects to the internet will sneak in dirty pictures.

Even the Ninjawords app is 17+ and it's just a fast dictonary. rolls eyes
