In the past I deleted this app as MySpace was never willing to transfer ownership of the app to another account, however it never did get completed deleted as the canvas page still exists but it’s in private (AppID 106649). So until now I decided to recreate the app and upgrade to OpenSocial 0.8, boy was this is big waste of time. This App’s ID was 151011.
First, it was denied for these reasons:
1. Application DescriptionApps that require third party registration must clearly state so in their app descriptions.
2. Loading Issues.
The Profile Surface fails to load the content and appears blank.
Okay I’ve address #1 already in the app footers, but I just make it bold and clear in the first paragraph just to satisfy them. #2 only appears when they are using all invalid Gamertags or the API is down, which I addressed by making it say a message if and when this occurs. So I resubmit and wait another 48 hours.
Then, the app gets denied again for these reasons:
1. User Experience / Functionality:
Applications must contain unique content on every application surface (i.e., canvas, home and profile pages must each contain unique content and functionality). The following surfaces are not unique: Home, Profile Surfaces
Well I can’t address #1, because in the past it was this way and they didn’t complain, and I have been requested by app users to do this a long time ago. Here are what these surfaces look like from the app screenshots:
| Home | Profile |
|---|---|
 |
 |
There was only one difference between the two, and that is the Change Gamertags link. This was also to help the user find their way around, and this satisfied a lot of users before.
No, I am not going to bother posting in their forums about it, the MDP (MySpace Development Platform) team doesn’t visit it as much anymore, and most of the app denial clarifications get unanswered. Their IRC channel #myspacedev is also dead too, only about 9 users sit in while about 90 are in the #facebook channel. So thanks but no thanks MySpace, I’ll just delete the app instead which means just more bandwidth for me, not like I was getting paid to do this anyways.
