Why is Apple so hard on small developers with incredible scrutiny on releases and sometimes seemingly arbitrary eval criteria, and Tik Tok can run rampant with a keylogger injected with JavaScript? Genuinely asking in good faith here as this is way out of my domain of expertise. I worked as a UI/UX designer for a company that shipped iOS and Android games exclusively and they (Apple App Store reviewers) were always hard on us for every little thing we published. But it seems like the major social apps have some seriously invasive tech bundled in and I have to imagine if JoeBlowApp LLC wanted to ship an app with the level of data collection that Tik Tok has, they'd get reamed by Apple, no?

I had a hunch that may have been the case but I was hoping it wasn't that simple.

Uber bowed part way and they never even got close to getting their app banned.
That in-person meeting was more than any rejected developer got.
