App Rejected due to "usage of Private API"

The AGON Online Unity plugin has been updated to 2.0.1 with a fix for the issue reported above. You can get the new version from the AGON developer management site: http://devdb.agon-online.com/developer/dashboard/downloads

You need to regenerate the Xcode project after updating to the new plugin.

So... What am I missing.

1.5.1 seems, at first glance, to be primarily the same as 1.5... I didn't know there was any coexistence at all. 2.6 and iP1.5 seem like different applications.

And how is workflow awesome again (other than just Unity having good workflow...)

This implies that one could work in Unity 2.6 and compile in 1.5.1?

What am I missing...

 

Does 2.6 have a PVRT compression option in the texture import settings?

 

Working in 2.6 with the target to deploy to the iphone is only a partially smart idea for different reasons:

1. Terrains are unity only, Occlusion culling Unity iPhone only

2. Unity iPhone is .NET 1.1, not .NET 2.0+ as the desktop

3. UnityScript is far more picky on what you can do, far less automagic

4. You don't even get an idea of how it will look on the iphone by using the desktop one as you don't have the iphone emulation

5. Different other features from the desktop are not present on the iphone and vice versa (especially the input, the whole input manager stuff is not present)


Unity Desktop is a way to prototype something you would take to the iphone but just deploying it won't work (likely not compile wise and even less like performance wise)

 

Coolio...

Understandez - moi.

I know that eventually we shall discover the Unified Unity Theory, and it will all be as one.

I thought that statement implied we were closer than we are. I'll stick to 1.5.1 for now, for all the points that El Señor Dré pointed out, and leave the lush eden of 2.6 desktop for a future time or project.

 

I think all would be happy if Unity iPhone already were on the Unity 2.5+ Editor

But at the time, relying on the desktop editors just for "its nicer reasons" can bite you badly.
I see use for the animation editor for example, that would be a reason for me to take a project over to the desktop end temporally (the Unity 2.1 one thats present therefor in the iPhone edition is nice too but not as nice as the 2.6 one)

 

Well we're working on Unity iPhone with Unity 2.6 face ;-)
With 1.5.1 you have polishing, compatibility with 2.6, Apple dev thingies (3.1.2 SDK, Snow Leopard) and yet more polishing.

 

Well we just got our rejection notice for Comets and Craters 1.2 update. Taken them 12 days to work out the API's are not allowed. What a total waste of time. :x

Now to go through another round of testing again for 3 apps we have already done with 1.5 :x

 

It would seem like not too big a deal to check for this when you upload the app... it already checks some other things automatically.

Maybe there's an evaluator's union that precludes such an arrangement.

 

@mantasp - sweet! those sound like good titles. Chickie Dominos LITE/Free version also just got approved with 1.5.1RC and will appear Nov 19th in the App Store.

 

Deep Lite just got rejected as well

 

You can always resubmit with new Unity iPhone version. Just mail me and get one immediately.

 

Yup, already did and received a response very quickly. Thanks!

 

Just an update: we resubmitted with 1.5.1 and our game was approved today and is now in the App Store.

Thanks to Unity for providing the fix quickly, great job.

 

Phew, thanks for your time and patience!
Now we can go back and continue working on best ever game editor ;-)

 

I downloaded and installed RC2 this morning and it's running fine. However, unity Remote freezes up when i select my computer. I've compiled and installed the version which came with RC2 but it ends up behaving in exactly the same way.

Any ideas as to how to fix this?

Thanks!

 

1.5.1 has been released. Have you tried that?

 

Re-installed, checked all network settings, etc. Now works. I'll just chalk it up to "glad it's now working"

 

1.5.1 is out?

I didn't see any announcements... email or sticky...

Oh! Yup. There it is:

http://unity3d.com/unity/download/#iphone

 

Yepp it is out. Hope you like it.

 

yeah got rejected using 1.5 man this sucks big banana anyway at least its now fixed however did not find the comment posted by a unity employee very helpfull someone suggested resubmit...using 1.5 and hopefully it will be ok what a load of croc!

anyway this bug is now fixed so gripe over!

 

Not really...resubmitting the same app with no changes has resulted in success for a number of people who had rejected apps for various reasons.

and if it does not work again what I wait another month! for approval..I think not!
the app is a christmas project and I am fast running out of time so this issue really caught me unawares!

 

Well then take 1.5.1 and resubmit it with that, that will get you rid of the private api issue as ravensword and other unity games have shown.

But generally you will just have to accept that there are no strict apple internal guidelines for approval, so it IS defacto a russian roulette when sending stuff.
Don't like it then don't do iphone development, that simple it is, as you can't change anything on it commonly (unless you really crossed the line and just have to fix up your thing to get through the automated testing)

 

Ha Ha Great love it!

 

will resist the urge to start a flame war...and get back to codeing

 

OXYGEN, now Apple uses some robotic testers that search for private APIs and they do not like those two mentioned API calls that we culled out of Unity internals. So resubmitting with 1.5.0 most probably will not help you to get to the AppStore. Please use 1.5.1 instead.

 

cheers wozik :wink:

 

2.5 Apps that use non-public APIs will be rejected
The non-public API that is included in your application is thread_stack_pcs

+ 2.30 Apps that do not comply with the Mac OS X File System documentation will be rejected
-The application is creating files or writing to ~/.wapi/.

thank you , I have been waiting over a month for this to be accepted
this is getting me very very frustrated.
If i have to wait again in "line" argh.

 

There is a thread on the matter with links to beta applications to use if you want to go to the mac app store.
No need to hijack a dead thread on iphone from 2009

 

I couldn't find the thread dremora (lol do you sleep)

 

Hello,

I have got my application rejected twice because of the private API:

@dreamora: Please could you tell us where are the links to the beta applications? I cannot find them

Thanks!

 

No longer needed, the 3.2 release has the changes in.

 

Great Dreamora I suspected that Now downloading the 3.2 Unity Version!

 

The sleep thing is something I'm thinking about for almost 2 years now. Seems like dreamora is doing power nappings in front of the forums only.
