Apple Pulls BitTorrent iPhone App from Store

It may be that the fact this is a BitTorrent app has little or nothing to do with it being pulled...<p>The article mentioned that to even use the app it requires a premium ImageShack membership. I'm not an iPhone developer, but from what I've read online, this itself is a violation of the terms, and may be the reason for pulling the app. While I don't have the exact rule on hand, it is something along the lines that your app can't require a paid membership to use, unless you're able to offer a trial/signup in the app.<p>I'm more inclined to believe this especially because it sounds like this isn't a BitTorrent downloader, but just a manager, which I don't really see as an issue.

Can anyone elaborate on what developer guidelines would an app implementing a form of BitTorrent client violate?

Well that didn't take long at all.
