Apple is paying close attention to the app offerings for its new watch. If your iOS app advertises support for any watch, other than the Apple Watch, prepare for trouble. Apple recently rejected an update to an established iPhone and iPad app because it mentioned support for a non-Apple Smartwatch:
We noticed that your app or its metadata contains irrelevant platform information in the app. Providing future platform compatibility plans, or other platform references, is not appropriate for the App Store. Specifically, your app and app description declare support for the Pebble Smartwatch.
Additionally, Apple has established criteria for Apple Watch developers that reject applications where the primary function is to tell the time.

Oh bullshit, cry me a river. You wanna know why MSFT ended up #1? Every single victory of MSFT in the 80s and 90s can be preceded by "And then the other guy did something REALLY fucking stupid".
Apple? Fired the only guy with taste for a soda water seller that made 50 models at different price points with ZERO way for the consumer to tell better from worse, and let the OS rot. OS/2? IBM turned OS/2 into an OS as appealing as plague blankets by first trying to fuck the other OEMs with the MCA bus and then charged $200 a pop for it (that IS the OEM price BTW, no discounts to actually gain share, might cut into thinkpad sales you know) at a time when the OEMs could pick up a copy of Windows for less than $20 wholesale. BeOS? First tied their OS to a failed AT&T CPU, and THEN if that wasn't fucking stupid enough they went full retard and went with the PPC which meant they had to fight Apple for every chip (fat chance) and then when they finally saw the light and went to X86? They had blown through their budget and couldn't afford to market. BTW I can do this with Linux in the 00s too, MSFT releases Vista? Devs go "Herp derp, lets shoot ourselves in the face by releasing a half baked alpha quality Pulse and KDE 4 and if that doesn't fucking kill us we'll make it the default on every popular distro! That will piss away any momentum we gained!"
Its easy to win a battle when the enemy is a bunch of retards, you want to know why MSFT hasn't gained shit in mobile? Google and Apple under Jobs wasn't run by booger eaters, simple as that. Hell Android is buggy as fuck, Apple iOS is finicky as shit and its quality goes down with each release BUT since the companies are run by retards you don't see the kind of supergigantic fuckups that let MSFT have the time to hire guys with brains like Cutler to make really good OSes like the NT arch. BTW I am proud to state the Hairyfeet Challenge has stood now for EIGHT YEARS without a single consumer Linux distro coming even close to passing, not one. Goes to show you OSes run by people that can't get their collective shit together still exist even in 2015, they just have share so low nobody cares when they systemd themselves out of what little relevance they had left.
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.
