And the Apple-Google war continues. This time, instead of just bad-mouthing each other, Apple is running with a strategy that they\u2019re no stranger to: censoring words in the App Store<\/a>. Instead of just \u201cboobs\u201d and \u201cbooty\u201d, which they don\u2019t seem to have a problem with anymore, Apple\u2019s new target is the word \u201cAndroid\u201d.<\/p>\n Now, Apple only seems to be looking for the word used within a particular context. A quick look through the App Store reveals a decent number of apps with \u201cAndroid\u201d in the title that have gone totally unscathed. However, at least one developer in particular has had their app held up pending removal of an Android reference. In its preview Tim Novikof\u2019s Flash of Genius SAT app made mention of the fact that it was a finalist in Google\u2019s Android Developers Challenge, and Apple had him remove the offending snippet before it could go live. Apple\u2019s justification?<\/p>\n “providing future platform compatibility plans or other general platform references are not relevant in the context of the iPhone App Store.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Novikof reportedly didn\u2019t mind having to pull the reference, but it\u2019s crazy that a developer would have to remove a recommendation (and a weighty one at that) just because Apple doesn\u2019t like who it came from.<\/p>\n [via AppScout<\/a>]<\/p>\n And the Apple-Google war continues.
