IIRC, this has to do with specifying "Pebble" and competitors in the App Store description. Same issue has occurred with apps that specify Samsung, Google, etc. in their descriptions and screenshots.

You just have to remove them.




It's not the same because the Pebble is an iOS accessory! So it's extremely relevant whether or not the iOS app supports it as a feature.

This is completely different from specify Samsung, Google, etc which would have nothing to do with the iOS app.


Sounds like a very arbitrary rule, also worthy of an anti-trust investigation. What's next? Censoring "Google" words from the iPhone keyboard and iMessage?


An antitrust case because apple are using their minority position in the market to tell developers not to advertise other platforms on theirs?

Sure, sounds appropriate.
