What's CampTrail App?
Got any idea about the CampTrail App from the above Screenshots? Yes, this app is intended for employees to collaborate and do work in enterprises. It allows project management on iPads. It has been developed by FAQDen Labs after an uninterrupted
hardwork for months. But all goes in vain when we talk about the approval from Apple! Why? You will find it soon! Have patience.
What's the "Living Document" made by Apple?
The company(Apple) says that its App Store guide is a “Living Document”. According to this the Apps which appear confusingly similar to an existing Apple product or advertising theme will be rejected. Apps that look similar to apps bundled on the iPhone, including the App Store, iTunes Store, and iBookstore, will be rejected. Apps that create alternate desktop/home screen environments or simulate multi-app widget experiences will be rejected. Apps that alter the functions of standard switches, such as the Volume Up/Down and Ring/Silent switches, will be rejected.
Having read the new rules, I still feel deeply conflicted about the App Store. On one hand, there’s something broken about a process that permits hundreds of fart apps but makes it impossible for the third party developers (like FAQDen Labs) to reach users. The new documentation, while extensive, is still rife with wiggle room: Some developers are going to invest time and resources building apps only to find that Apple won’t approve them. Worse, other developers won’t bother to build cool apps at all yet they’re virtually positive that they won’t be shot down.
But here’s the thing: Apple may be an imperfect steward of its mobile platform, but it’s less imperfect than all its competitors. For all its limitations, the App Store still has by far the best and most innovative smartphone apps. I still believe that the best possible app store would provide third-party developers with far more latitude than Apple’s store does.
I remain a long-term optimist, one who believes that a more open iPhone would be good for both iPhone owners and for Apple, and that Apple will eventually come around to that line of thinking. So when the company says that its App Store guide is a “living document,” I choose to take that as an encouraging sign. Why couldn’t a living document ultimately result in rules that are less restrictive rather than more so?
The Camptrail app has been renamed to Trailhead due to Trademark issues of 37signals. But i think the new name is cooler anyway!
