PLATFORM: Please hold...We're sorry, but your product does not comply with our guidelines. Goodbye!
DEVELOPER: Why are you rejecting our app? We were very careful to do everything you asked us to!
PLATFORM: Your app does not comply with the guidelines.
DEVELOPER: But we think it does!
PLATFORM: But we think it doesn't! And what we say, goes.
DEVELOPER: But what did we do wrong!
PLATFORM: You didn't comply with our guidelines. That's all we can say.
DEVELOPER: Can you at least refund our application fee?
PLATFORM: Doing that would not comply with our guidelines.
DEVELOPER: Do you have any idea how much it cost us to have several developers working on this product for months?
PLATFORM: That's your problem, not ours. Have a nice day!
DEVELOPER: (obscenities)
