Using Apple’s App Review Process for Testing
Posted: September 19, 2011 Filed under: General, Idea | Tags: app, apple, ipad, iphone, itunes-connect, mac, review, testing 3 CommentsTesting any piece of software is extremely important but if this software happens to be an iOS/Mac app, testing is crucial. Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines provide developers with some insight (some) on how they can avoid getting their app rejected. I say ‘some’ because its a living document that constantly changes. Quotes from the guidelines:
This document represents our best efforts to share how we review apps submitted to the App Store, and we hope it is a helpful guide as you develop and submit your apps. It is a living document that will evolve as we are presented with new apps and situations, and we’ll update it periodically to reflect these changes.
Bring Users Back to your Application after they End the Call

Although, Apple has provided a pretty neat function openURL: for doing that, but it has one disadvantage…rather than bringing the users back to the application, it takes the users to the default Phone application after they end the call. It can be frustrating to both the developers and the users; developers want to give uninterrupted use of their applications whereas users hate to have to close the Phone app and go back to what they were doing. If you are one of the afore mentioned developers, you are reading just the post. In this small pots, Im showing a way around this…as always, totally acceptable by Apple, no private APIs or hacks that may get your app rejected.
