Time Travel: 2014

If these hidden dangers are allowed to explode.

There is a high probability that Apple will not be affected by these hidden dangers.

After all, Pingchun Company has deep roots.

It is impossible to face much threat because of a developer's rebellion.

Even if this developer is personally awarded a series of laurels by Apple.

It’s different from Apple’s indifference to potential risks.

Lin Hui had to care.

Size determines many things.

Lin Hui's current strength is still not enough. Once a potential hidden danger breaks out, it will have a considerable impact on Lin Hui.

And if Pingcheng puts forward some more stringent requirements for Lin Hui.

Although the current Lin Hui can resist, there is a high probability that this resistance can only be limited.

It still can't be done to the extent that Goose Factory said "no" to Pingchun in the previous life.

Not to mention being as reckless as Facebook.

The technology circle also needs to speak with strength.

In the situation of unequal strength, facing the hidden danger that may erupt, all Lin Hui can do at present is to continue to use his strength.

We can only take precautionary measures to deal with the direct threat of hidden danger outbreaks.

One of Lin Hui's preparations is an application distribution method that does not go through Apple's App Store review/verification.

Maybe outsiders are confused about what Lin Hui is doing now.

But in fact, some Apple mobile software developers may be able to understand Lin Hui’s intentions.

Apple's review/review mechanism is not as invisible as it seems to outsiders.

Unlike other app stores, Apple’s App Store has many and complex review items and is quite strict in execution.

As an example, take the name of the app.

Other application development stores generally rarely impose too many restrictions on application names, as long as they do not contain banned words.

However, in the review/review mechanism of Apple’s App Store, Gongque has taken the trouble to stipulate:

“Software developers should choose a unique application name and specify keywords that accurately describe the application.

Software developers should not try to trick the system by wrapping any metadata with trademark terms, names of popular applications, pricing information, or other irrelevant phrases.

Application names must be limited to 30 characters.

Metadata such as app names, subtitles, screenshots, and previews may not contain prices, words, or descriptions that are not of that metadata type.

The application subtitle is a great place to provide detailed background information about your application.

Subtitles must follow our standard metadata rules and must not contain inappropriate content, reference other applications, or make unverifiable product claims.

Apple can modify inappropriate keywords or take other corresponding steps at any time to prevent improper use..."

This is just a microcosm of Apple’s strict review/review mechanism when launching applications.

In addition, there are many complicated constraints.

Even many aspects of Dianping that would hardly be noticed by outsiders are taken the trouble to restrict in reviewing/censoring content.

For example, the Apple App Store requires some screenshots to show the usage of software.

Not all screenshots can be used to demonstrate software.

Apple's review/review mechanism specifically stipulates that screenshots should show the use of the software, not just the title cover, login page or initial screen.

Screenshots should also include text and image descriptions (e.g., demonstrate input mechanisms, etc.) and demonstrate extended functionality on the device.

For example, regarding the issue of screenshots, Apple specifically stipulates in the review/approval items that screenshots and previews should be maintained at an age rating of 4+, even if your app has a higher rating.

What does it mean? Let’s take the overseas version of RR, the game "Life Restart Simulator" that Lin Hui made earlier.

Although the latter has a rating of 17+ in overseas app stores.

But for this game, all display screenshots must be maintained at a 4+ level.

In other words, even if a game is h and violent.

Screenshots of promotional interfaces must also be harmless to humans and animals.

Something like “Screenshots should show the software in use, not just the title cover, login page, or splash screen.

Screenshots should also include text and image descriptions (e.g., demonstrate input mechanisms, etc.) and demonstrate extended functionality on the device.

For example, regarding the issue of screenshots, Apple specifically stipulates in the review/approval items that screenshots and previews must be maintained at an age rating of 4+, even if your app has a higher rating. This stipulation also includes:

——“In games that contain violence, do not select images that include violent deaths or pointing guns at specific characters.”

There's a lot more to it than that.

Under the constraints of these rules, there will naturally be no problems for the several games that Lin Hui has made previously.

But for some specific types of very violent games, it is not easy to find some harmless clips.

Therefore, before the game is launched, game designers have to consider designing some pictures in the game that are relatively harmless to humans and animals.

Many of the heartwarming scenes known as easter eggs in horror or violent games in later generations may actually be scenes specially designed to cope with the review/censorship mechanism.

As for why Apple goes to such trouble to impose such restrictions on screenshots.

Apple believes that software previews are an excellent way to let customers understand the appearance and functionality of the app to ensure that customers know the experience they will get in the app.

Although this statement makes sense.

But in fact, the deeper feeling that Lin Hui felt was Pingchen's strong desire to control.

Although the general review/verification mechanism is generally a formality.

But Pingchun is still quite strict in this regard.

The reason why I remember it so clearly is because in Lin Hui’s previous life, he was stuck in app display screenshots.

It can be said to be very sad.

Information security above all else!

But in the early years, it was also thanks to this strict review/review system.

This gave mobile software a pure land.

The early days of the mobile software development industry were chaotic.

In the early days, many software developers simply had no ideas.

How can someone develop software without any ideas?

It is destined to be inseparable from all kinds of plagiarism and plagiarism.

Even simple plagiarism and plagiarism have even become a clean slate.

There are many developers who copy popular apps in the app store when developing software.

Some developers even use other people's applications as their own by slightly modifying the names and signatures created by other developers.

In addition, there are a large number of copycat software in early mobile software.

Similar to copied articles, so-called copied software refers to apps created directly using commercial templates or app generation services.

This type of software is like the marketing accounts that have been rampant in later generations.

Although there is no obvious harm, the key is that it is disgusting.

What's more, some early developers created software and calling it "software" was simply an overstatement.

Although there is a form of "software", it does not even have the minimum functionality of software.
