app rejected because of buzztouch upload graphic

just a heads up to everyone - an update to one of my apps just got rejected because the upload screen contains a picture of the iPhone (the one with the little clouds at the top). It was reason 8.1 "We found that your app does not comply with the Guidelines for Using Apple's Trademarks and Copyrights <http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html>, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines. Specifically, your app includes one or more Apple trademark images - or likenesses of Apple trademark images - including Game Center badges." This is strange because I've submitted a number of other apps and updates with the same graphic and have never had issues - just a particularly picky reviewer I suppose.

I've seen this on the discussion forums before. It doesn't seem to happen much but I stopped using those icons anyways just to be on the safe side.

Hi @absentia I had this same problem a while ago- http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=9A9A916014AF35DF0EA38FF&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=2 I just changed the images in Xcode and got the app approved straight away.

Funny how long that graphics been in use. Even funnier that they "assume" it's a graphic of an iPhone. LOL. We'll get it modified in the plugin / project eventually. In the meantime, just overwrite it with a different graphic of the same size after you downloading the project.

The file name is bgRefresh.png (clouds) and bgError.png (red circle) and they are located in the Gui folder under BT_Images.

This is the way i see it.... Apple is 'tighter' and more 'strict' then android is!
