Question

My project is in iPhone, uses sysctl(mib, 2, &argmax, &size, NULL, 0) function.
It is dealing with background processes in iPhone, accesses files modification time outside my applications directory.
apple guidelines says- “Apps that read or write data outside its designated container area will be rejected”.
will my app be accepted in appstore? or Is there any special certificate required for such apps to upload on iPhone?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Besides that succinct answer above, you can always submit an appeal to the App Review Board (or maybe even send one in before your submission) and see if they will make an exception.

Here’s where you can find information about that:

But yes, don’t expect to get lucky with this kind of app. If you word your explanation or appeal very well, there’s a chance you might get approved.
