This article does a great job hitting on a lot of the pain points for developers in the MAS. While not all of these are experienced by every developer all of them hold some weight.

I've had a real tough time dealing with sandboxing especially. In my app HD Cleaner (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hd-cleaner/id836769549?mt=12), users need to "open" their user folder in order for the application to get the proper access to files. Unfortunately this is a large hurdle for some users because they have no idea WHY they have to choose their user folder. This has lead to confusion as well as some bad reviews. The app could be a lot more efficient and convenient if these rules weren't in place. Despite this I think it's great Apple is taking security seriously. I just wish there was a better way.
