<div>You should be able to explain away #1 - this is exactly
what all Bible Apps do, so unless there are no other Bible
Study apps available, you should be able to explain this. I'd
read up carefully that point, cause you're not installing code
& it depends on their definition of "resources"... I know
they relaxed that point heaps recently, but that was for iOS -
is it different for the Mac store vs the iOS store? :(<br>
<br>
For #3, the file system is very different under iOS - I can
only play with the filesystem within my own little sandbox
& hence I oblige... ;) probably worth complying for that
& surely you can add code to migrate any/all modules
across on launch? Or something? :(<br>

I see. Maybe I can explain away this one, too.<br>
All alternatives are unfortunate.<br>

<div>For #2, it may be worth having 2 versions of the app, as I
think the additional exposure of the Mac App Store would more
than make up for having an extra build in Xcode... So you can
put your sparkle code back in there, too... :)<br>
<br>
I have heard of developers having different builds of all
their apps - one for their existing customers & so they
get the free upgrades they were promised & one for their
App Store customers, as you can't migrate your customers
licences across to the App Store at this point in time...<br>

Yep, I have a different version already which adds/removes the
Sparkle updater.<br>

Hi Guys.
<br>
<br>
I think it is relatively unlikely to succeed putting
MacSword/Eloquent in the Mac AppStore.
<br>
The main stumbling blocks are:
<br>
<br>
- the module installer:
<br>
Apple doesn't allow "Apps that download or install additional
code or resources to add functionality or change their primary
purpose will be rejected"
<br>
<br>
- creating the links for the module utilities in /usr/local/bin.
For that we aquire admin priviledges via an Apple API but allow
doesn't allow that either:
<br>
"Apps that request escalation to root privileges or use setuid
attributes will be rejected"
<br>
<br>
- finally Apps are only allowed to create folders in the
filesystem that reflect the name of the App. We create a "Sword"
folder where the modules are stored.
<br>
Apple says we do not "comply with the Mac OS X File System
documentation".
<br>
<br>
<br>
Nic, did you have similar issues (module installer and
filesystem)?
<br>
<br>
I'm not willing to remove this from the App and If Apple doesn't
except explanations for those then AppStore is a "no go".
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Manfred
