Dropbox's latest SDK has incurred the wrath of Apple, because users who don't have the Dropbox app installed on their iPhone/iPad are instead pushed to Dropbox's website via the Safari browser. Here, they can click a link to the desktop version of the service, which allows them to buy extra Dropbox storage without Apple taking its usual 30% cut.
Apple is rejecting apps based on the new SDK for contravening its rules on in-app purchases. "We found that your app provides access to external mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the app, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines," one developer was told by Apple. "Specifically, this app contains a link that takes the user to Dropbox via Safari."
