Well, apple did supposedly say it was 'not appropriate.' So what do you think apple would consider to be 'not appropriate'? I'd guess things like extreme violence, nudity, promotion of racism.

From the scant details provided, it looks to me that tgis could be out of context: "iOS operating system doesn't provide access to specific private APIs or other hardware that may affect the results."

My guess is he is trying to access non public apis.

I don’t know (how could I?) but I think the range of possibilities is wider than what you’ve mentioned. Perhaps it’s related to what they were quoted as saying, a problem with a discrepancy between the possible perceived reliability of the information and its actual reliability. I repeat, perhaps. I don’t know.
