The title is misleading - has the blog article been renamed since? It's now titled "Amazon's App Store Makes Me Feel Like an iOS Developer", more appropriately.
Actually, I've had some back and forth with Amazon over the past few hours. Their current policy is "the developer shouldn't been penalized for issues outside of their core binary."
In my case Amazon is going to approve the app without modification while they work out the kinks in the approval process.
Some argue that the deviceid is a security risk and Greystripe shouldn't be using it to track impressions.
But advertisers should be able to send their customers to whatever app store they choose. Especially since they're not beholden to Amazon's T&Cs.
I doubt that Amazon wants to eliminate Greystripe/Admob/Millennial, etc. from their app store, so my guess is they just need a better way to vet urls that end up in non-Amazon app stores.
Yes, that seems unfair, but in the end, there's something in his app that's breaking the rules.
