People have been quoting an Apple guideline for Developers concerning Voice Dream Reader changing to a subscription model and changing people's access to new content etc.
I decided to look at definitions. Here is the Marium Webster dictionary definition of "Guidelines:" * a line by which one is <x-mw://lookup/guided/1> guided: such as a: a cord or rope to aid a passer over a difficult point or to permit retracing a course b: an indication or outline of policy or conduct Now, a rule is quite different and since Apple uses guidelines and not rules, a developer is not required to strictly adhere to anyone's interpretation of a guideline in my opinion. Here is the Marium Webster definition of rules: Definition (Entry 1 of 2) * 1a: a prescribed guide for conduct or action b: the laws or regulations prescribed by the founder of a religious order for observance by its members c: an accepted procedure, custom, or habit d(1): a usually written order or direction made by a court regulating court practice or the action of parties (2): a legal precept or doctrine e: a regulation or bylaw governing procedure or controlling conduct * 2a(1): a usually valid generalization (2): a generally prevailing quality, state, or mode //fair weather was the ruleyesterday — The New York Times b: a standard of judgment : <x-mw://lookup/criterion/1> CRITERION c: a regulating principle d: a determinate method for performing a mathematical operation and obtaining a certain result * 3a: the exercise of authority or control : <x-mw://lookup/dominion/1> DOMINION b: a period during which a specified <x-mw://lookup/ruler/1> ruler or government exercises control * 4a: a strip of material marked off in units used especially for measuring : <x-mw://lookup/ruler/1/3> RULER sense 3, <x-mw://lookup/tape%20measure/1> TAPE MEASURE b: a metal strip with a type-high face that prints a linear design also : a linear design produced by or as if by such a strip * as a rule : for the most part : <x-mw://lookup/generally/1> GENERALLY Richard, USA “Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.
