Apparently they don't like when your app does something in a way that breaks ToS or EULA, even if they are not worth the pixels they are written on. Apple being the trillion dollar company it is, is naturally averse to the legal risk posed by having a ToS-breaking app on their store. This is why having a single company controlling your entire device is bad -- they do what's best for them, rather than whatever you might happen to want.


Agree it's bad, it's just where the money is for b2c indie dev. I hope their app store monopoly gets broken up.

I get confused about their stance on this because they allow products like AdGuard or browsers that block ads by default
