Just an idea... Google Maps causing iOS app rejections?

Has anyone had iOS app accepted recently where the app used BT map plugin? If the changes in Apple kinda kick out Google Maps, maybe this is why apps are facing rejection. SEE THIS: > http://venturebeat.com/2012/06/28/google-maps-ios-app/ > GOOGLE: google maps app rejections https://www.google.com/webhp?rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS468US468&sourceid=chrome-instant&ie=UTF-8#hl=en&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS468US468&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=google%20maps%20app%20rejections&oq=&gs_l=&pbx=1&fp=763549a71dc61ff0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=930&bih=593 This may be a crazy idea -but hey- what do you expect from a space hippie!

Hi in Seattle, We haven't started hearing about any rejections for apps that use the BT map screen (that plugin). But, it seems logical that when iOS 6 is released, and no longer has Google Maps as a native app, or as a UI element available to developers, that Apple would at least balk at "old" apps that continue to use it. I'm not sure where they stand on this but we'll begin to hear it soon enough (all of us). When the iO6 date nears, they will surely issue a formal policy in which time we'll update the map screen plugin as needed.

Current apps that have google map still open ios6 as a browser map. Doubt that would be a rejection reason at current time.
