pull
It's a Xmas miracle

 


We got a quick email from the developer of the infamous Pull My Finger app, that the previously rejected app is now available in the iTunes App Store.

Praise the gods of flatulence!

Developer Air-O-Matic got a call from a very nice Apple team member informing him that Apple was in the process of creating a new "Genre" of apps. This mystery genre allow the inclusion of some of the previously rejected apps.

The Apple representative also confessed that, originally, they didn't want to reject the Pull My Finger app. Apple is still determining how this new genre of apps would be handled.

This is good news for developers who have had apps rejected by Apple, and for those weary of working on an app only to be denied inclusion into the iTunes App Store.
