Applications using the Dropbox development kit for iOS are nolonger being rejected from the App Store by Apple after links to anexternal purchase option were removed. Filip Radelic, developer of the Cambox application for iPhone, informed AppleInsider on Friday that his software was accepted into the App Store. Theapproval came after Dropbox modified its development kit with atemporary fix removing the "Make account" feature. Dropbox also officially confirmed the changes made to its SDK in its developer forums. Brian Smith,who works on the iPhone and iPad versions of Dropbox, said theissue with Apple was resolved after "the worst game of telephoneyou've ever played." Using the new SDK, applications no longer offer an option to createan account with Dropbox. If a user attempts to use an applicationthat relies on Dropbox and the official Dropbox application is notinstalled on their iOS device, the SDK will open a login view forthe service directly within the third-party application, ratherthan opening the Safari Web browser. The issue stemmed from the fact that Dropbox offers users theability to purchase more cloud-based storage for their files. Bylinking to the Dropbox website to ask users to login, they couldalso follow a link to register for a Dropbox account and pay foradditional storage if they so chose. Apple's official rules for App Store developers explicitly ban links to out-of-app purchases. That's because transactions madethrough a browser can be used to bypass the App Store and cut Appleout of its 30 percent share of transactions. The enforcement of that rule has affected some of the biggest names on the App Store, including Amazon, The Wall Street Journal , and Barnes & Noble. Their applications were updated to removelinks to out-of-app purchases in order to remain available on theApp Store. With services like Dropbox or Amazon Kindle, users can still open abrowser and make a transaction, like additional storage, that willbe reflected in the official iOS application. But developers cannotallow users to make that purchase with a link from the iOSapplication without using Apple's in-app purchase tool fordevelopers, which gives Apple its 30 percent share.
