Resubmitted at 17+
Well I see some other developers saying their apps are being required to be listed at 17+. So I have decided to just bite the bullet and list mine at 17+ also. Quite frankly this is completely stupid and a hack on Apple’s part. They need a new option under ratings instead. They need the option “Does this application allow access to the internet that you do not specifically control the content of?” You would check yes or no. This would not change the rating of the app itself. Then parent’s could filter apps based on not allowing apps which provide access to the internet.
Right now Apple is forcing me to rate my application artificially high so it can handle situations in my app that are unlikely to exist and it was never designed for. The current system is just going to confuse users with warnings for apps that don’t have the content that apple is trying to block.
