Hi,



I recently submitted an app to Apple for review. This app allows users to

authenticate themselves with Flickr using the oAuth flow used by the current

Flickr iPhone app and many others. Apple has rejected this app because it

appears to violate review guideline 11.13, which may be familiar to you with

respect to Dropbox:

Essentially, the issue is that in the browser window provided for the user to

grant permissions, the user has the ability to navigate to the page where a pro

account can be purchased.



Has anyone else had this issue / is the Flickr team working on a compliant oAuth

flow for iOS?



Thanks.

Kyle, Thank you very much for your report and we sorry that your app has been

rejected by Apple (I don't believe that they were that strict in the past with

apps using our API and web page for user authorizations).



We had another report last week about the same problem and we are currently

working on a solution on our end, which will be in compliance with Apple

guidelines. We are planning on rolling out that change early next week. Once

those changes are live in production you should be able to resubmit your app for

review without code changes on your side.





Thank you for being patient and sorry for the trouble,



Sergey Morozov

Flickr Staff
