"

Guideline 5.2.3 - Legal - Intellectual Property



Your app allows users to save or download music, video, or other media content without authorization from the relevant third-party sources.


Specifically, your app allows users to download video from Instagram.

I submitted an apeal caliming that Instagram already provides a "Developer API" for such things . And users are able to make their account "Private" and also my app got rejected ?


I googled this issue and found similar situations , but without any solution . I am confused because there are many apps in the Appstore that has the same functionality and yet they havent been rejected , or remeoved ..


Thanks in advance .

Quoting the instagram SDK docs:

You cannot replicate the core user experience of the Instagram apps or web site. For example, do not build a media viewer.

It is perhaps one of the biggest misconceptions about the app store that anything available is a promise of how your apps will or won't be viewed by app review, especially when comparing apps from major houses.

Surely some developers have solved it. But, keeping it a secret so that only their app can download media LOL!

I just got this rejection as well. Gonna try something and if it works will reply here.
