Apple’s most recent app store rejection comes from an app named Eucalyptus. The app allows users to search for and download copyright-free books from Project Gutenberg. Apple’s beef? Eucalyptus allows users to download the Kama Sutra.
To be clear, the Kama Sutra does not come installed on the app, nor is it pre-coded into the application in anyway. To gain access to this “content some users may find objectionable,” a user actually has to search for and then download the book. Sort of like, you know, looking up porn on your iPhone. In Safari. That Apple app. To make matters even worse, Eucalyptus downloads a picture free version, so the only real crime is in the words you can potentially stumble upon suggesting methods for reaching sexual ecstasy.
Unfortunately, Eucalyptus isn’t the sort of app that can benefit from the easter egg exploit we mentioned earlier in the week. The app searches all of Project Gutenberg.
