I wrote up an IOS app to allow trading on Mt.Gox via their API.

Apple told me, no trading allowed but I could get the app published if I took that function out.

Is there a point in doing that?

Anyone got any advice?

Thanks.

Just as GAML mentioned, you need to add more functionality to your app, and make it for android.
Good luck for your app. Smiley

Apple is just not being so open to new things as they publish they are. Maybe because it prevents hipster kids buying BTC from their parents creditcard cus they all got that white ipad/phone  Cry

LOL yes that could be.  Like all the news stories of children who have been buying coins on free to play games from their parents phone or ipad  Cheesy

That must be one hell of a Smurf Village  Cheesy Cheesy

Apple pulled Coinbase's app from the store for the same reason.  No trading allowed.  MT.Gox has an app on Android; I guess Google are more supportive of innovation.  If that means that there would be no use for you app on android because MT.Gox have an app perhaps you could create and app that allows trading across multiple sites.  Like a one stop shop for all of the most credible trading sites......if that is possible.  Sorry I am not a programmer  Embarrassed

Apple is scared of bitcoin and scared any trading failures will come back on them.

Could you create one for android instead? Then users could side-load the app to avoid any google interference.
