在360被下架一事沸沸扬扬之时,苹果因为另一个国外论坛的刷评价帖子发布了最新的开发者规范,表示应用开发者不得操纵App Store排名。
Adhering to Guidelines on Third-*** Marketing Services
Once you build a great app, you want everyone to know about it. However, when you promote your app, you should avoid using services that advertise or guarantee top placement in App Store charts. Even if you are not personally engaged in manipulating App Store chart rankings or user reviews, employing services that do so on your behalf may result in the loss of your Apple Developer Program membership.
当你开发了一个伟大的应用,你会想要每个人都了解它。但是,当你推广自己的应用时,你应该避免使用那些宣传或担保在App Store排行榜中能处于顶级排名的服务。即使你并没有亲自参与操纵App Store的排行榜排名或用户评论,雇佣此类服务仍可能导致你失去“Apple开发者项目成员”的资格.
