Cannot simulate failures or errors

From Max Williams: “You’re not allowed to have any kind of cracked or broken screen effect.” The rejection cites “simulating failures” as prohibited.

Your app also cannot, intentionally or not, do something that could be construed as an iPhone software or App Store error, as whiskyvangoghgo discovered:

We attempted to publish an app called “@%#!?! Allergies”. The name was rejected on the grounds that users may think that the odd characters were the output of an error in the iTunes Store.

More generally, you can’t do something that could potentially make the iPhone or App Store look bad.
