This might deter quality indie developers away from iOS in favor of the more-lenient Google Play Store, which would be a very troubling situation. If one game is going to be approved with content that violates the guidelines, but another title gets rejected for the same thing, that’s a pretty serious problem. Personally, I think it points to a major problem with getting independent titles onto the App Store. The Walking Dead on iOS=violence against children /GwRAFnZD6r - Tyrone Rodriguez February 7, 2016 Binding of Isaac: Rebirth developer Tyrone Rodriguez correctly points to popular iOS titles like The Walking Dead, which also depict violence against children. Section 15.2 does clearly state, “Apps that depict violence or abuse of children will be rejected.” However, this ruling brings up the issue of inconsistent application of the rules during the app review process.

It’s not a surprise, if you read the App Store Review Guidelines. Apple has rejected it because it contains “contents or features that depict violence towards children.”Ĭ’mon, wtf… Apple /aEygkjqH2b More proof of that has surfaced, but the game is facing a serious challenge to its arrival on the iPhone and iPad. Not too long ago, we pointed to rumors and tweets that hinted at the possibility of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth coming to iOS.
