I am developing an IOS app for some extra facebook features that API's can provide, but couldnt't find the "rules", so dont want my app rejected by either Appstore or FB, so I want to know all policies in advance.
for example:
-Can I sell this app in AppStore?
-Am I free to use all functionality that FB API's provides how ever i want? or there are some things "I should and should not do"?
-It does not allow me to name my app anything includes text "Facebook", but I see in apple store there are apps with name Facebook text by other companies, how is that possible? (e.g. Myphone+ for facebook)
Thanks
Facebook does not ask for any commission (as you don't make any money just offer an interface from your app to access Facebook services). They have an open source iOS SDK, with reference here, which does all the authentication/authorization work. You can find the general documentation for developing Facebook stuff on mobile here. Depending on which services you want to access you will have to ask the user for Facebook permissions through the SDK. Apple have never, to my knowledge refused an app because of the Facebook SDK.

At work, we've developed a Facebook app to create a configurable 'tab' page with live information from our API, so that a small handful of our partners can display it on their Facebook pages in a template we provide. The app works fine, but is not something that needs to be independently discovered by people browsing a list of Facebook apps.
Thus, my question is, do we ever need to submit this app for a formal review by Facebook, if we don't care about being listed in their app index? We've got the app URL that we're giving partners directly to install, and that's worked already.
I've provided as much of the app details as are required (descriptions, icons, privacy policy URLs, contact details etc) to meet Facebook's own requirements. Is there any chance Facebook will look at the app down the line and require a submission, considering the app now has 'users' (i.e. people that have viewed the tab page it creates).
You only have to get your app reviewed if you want it to be listed in the app center – but it’s absolutely not mandatory.
But be aware that people could possibly find your app in other ways, f.e. it might show up in the normal search under it’s name.

Apple rejected my app and apple gives reason as follow :
"Specifically, we noticed your app does not contain sufficient user interactive
iOS functionality."
It would be appropriate to add more user interactive iOS functionality so that
your app can be appropriate for the App Store."
My app contains one ImageView and two buttons (next and previous). And I dont need anything else.
I found one link on SO but its not useful
So what should I do? How can solve this problem?
While it sounds like a subjective reason for rejection, you should look/think about how a user is interacting with your app. If it is just a Next/Previous interaction with static images, this is the same thing as the photo gallery app that comes with the iPhone & iPad.
As a simple suggestion, you could think about linking the image to a web site. Alternatively, allow your users to add notes to the images. Both should be fairly easy, and would add functionality for the user.
Do you need an app to do this?
Could you make a webpage compatible with ios that way all other devices will have access.
Your answer is simple:
"It would be appropriate to add more user interactive iOS
functionality so that your app can be appropriate for the App Store."
To be honest I agree with Apple on this one.

I have developed an IOS application, and i have many questions to ask for you :
I have signed the app, with my own apple program account. And now my client wants that i give him the app to put it in the Apple Store, he gives to me his apple developer account.
1.1 My question is : what should i to do to sign the app with my clients account ? shoul i create a certificate to this ? what are the information needed to create a certificate ? and should i create a provisioning profile ?
In the application, i am using ssl, should i do other things because i am using ssl ? if yes what are this things ? for information i am localized in France.
Also, i am using some functionality that i am not sure they will accepted by apple, for example in the hom page of my app, i have a button to acces in the web site of my client ( the web site is not optimized for iPhone), will apple reject my app for this ?
Thanks for your answers
Here are a couple of answers:
You will have to sign the app with your client's credentials if you want to submit it to Apple through the client's account. Your client will need to add you to their account as a team member. The process for setting up credentials and provisioning is the same process as when you set them up for your self.
need more info about exactly how you are using SSL and what for.
linking to a website (no matter how poorly suited for a device) is not a rejectable offence.

I am trying to making a Music App Integrated with In-App Purchase where User can buy audio File?
Is In-App-Purchase Allow user to buy Audio File ????
It is allowed, yes. However, there's no specific API for the selling of audio files, just an API that can be used to sell whatever content you like (with usual apple caveats). You'll need to have an apple developer account set up to sell paid apps to be able to build and test apps with in-app purchase. Read through the docs at https://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/inapppurchase/
.. it's something that'll take some time to get right, and much too complicated to explain in full here.

Hi
I have a web site for which I have created an App that when opened just opens the website URL in iPhone Safari using [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
So what are the chances for this kind of app being approved...?
Thanks.
Here are the AppStore Guidelines - I would suggest reading through the specific iOS review guidelines (you'll need your developer acct to view second link). Without more details about your app, I would ask yourself if the app fits here (from the review guidelines):
2.12 Apps that are not very useful or do not provide any lasting
entertainment value may be rejected
2.13 Apps that are primarily marketing materials or advertisements will be
rejected
you /may/ be able to get away with it if you wrap some of it in phonegap. that is, put some of the files locally on the phone, and then use the network to get the rest.
No one here can give you an authoritative answer.
Personally I would expect such an app to be rejected based on the app store guidelines.
Apps that are not very useful or do not provide any lasting entertainment value may be rejected
2.13
Apps that are primarily marketing materials or advertisements will be rejected
http://developer.apple.com/appstore/guidelines.html
I'm not sure Apple would want that kind of app on the app store. You would be better off just making a mobile version of your site.
