Weekend code March 1

[Friso]

Weekend code is spring64 which gives the usual. I thought it was interesting to add the facebook message as it explains why the Apple players don't receive their banknotes anymore

One week left to complete Per Aspera Ad Astra event, if you haven't done it before! By the way, did you know it is a Latin phrase that means "Through hardships to the stars"? Also, be sure to take advantage of a weekend sale that provides you 3x amount of coins and Airport Cash with all purchases in the bank. Finally, the gift code for Android & Amazon players is spring64, and we kindly remind you there are no gift codes for either iPad or iPhone players, as they are prohibited by Apple's policy.
The code works after 10AM PST March, 1st - during this weekend.

That really sucks for crapple players. It's really ridiculous for them to prohibit GI to give out weekly bonuses. Wtf??

Just found what I read before. This is about Mystery Manor which is another one of GI's games. I think it applies to AC as well.

Excerpt:
The actual change was the elimination of friend promo codes, which allowed users to obtain and trade gifts with other players inside the game. That practice is common in many social games, but Apple banned the practice when it involved the transfer of items that were purchased for money. That change threw off the gameplay balance, as it was of the game's core social elements. Players felt like this was a bait and switch. The company replied that it discovered that Apple restricted what its App Store developers are allowed to do in terms of offering promotions to users.]
Game Insight said on its fan page that it had to make changes to comply with Apple’s policies, canceling promotions where it gave gifts that normally require in-app purchases. Apple’s 1.11 guideline for developers says, “Apps that unlock or enable additional features or functionality with mechanisms other than the App Store will be rejected.” Game Insight is now removing all such functions from its iOS games.

FYI, I submitted a support request about these codes not working on iPad. This was their response.

We should inform you that according to the Terms of service and policy of the Apple there is no opportunity to use promo codes in game for iOS devices. Please, note that this feature is not a whim of developers, this is the result of system requirements of an application for platform devices.

It feels very much like Apple... They want %% from everything, even from rectangle with rounded corners

I posted an extract here "https://www.airportcitygame.com/ind...t-update-27th-feb-2013.2456/page-3#post-35891" from apple's app store guidelines....

 

[BrakeTown]

tdv, very nice extract. As I understand it, the users of i-(cr)Apple must buy greens only through App Store. The gift code is reducing the App Store cut... And Apple cannot permit this, 'cause it will affect the salaries of hordes of fat lawyers...

 

[aartoo]

So this policy means that I cannot buy new land, unless I use real cash. This is crap(ple).

After this I am considering if it is worthwhile to play this game anymore...
