> I bought this app. I'm more than willing to support the the Rebellion. I haven't actually verified that this app works as demonstrated but for a dollar it's worth the risk. I have no intentions of paying another $20 a month to AT&T.

As a current iOS developer, I’ve always wondered what the financial repercussions of getting pulled from the App Store would be. I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple refused to pay the kid his post-commission cut from what he was able to sell due to this kind of hidden behavior.



The kid's under 18. You need to be 18 or over to sell apps in the App Store, as per the agreement. They could choose to pull his apps, remove his account and not pay him for that reason alone.


That depends if the parent was involved in approving the agreement. When I skimmed it last year when I first signed up, I remembered there being some kind of “if the developer is under 18, have a representative of age read and agree instead” clause, but it’s been awhile.
