The joke’s on whoever wrote that email. Never a good idea to irritate millions of computer programmers… ---

it turned out to be a fake email. More than 6% of all apps on store are cordova apps… and I don’t think it’s possible to ban a framework like Xamarin. ---

I’ve received hundreds of emails regarding Apple reviews and a quick comparison shows a few faults in this fake. When signing “App Store Review” it means that is came from the review team, usually when an app has been rejected for some reason. That team’s automated emailing system is always signed “Regards” and not “Best Regards”. The review team wouldn’t be in charge of notifying random developers about policy enforcements in a couple of years. If that ever were to happen it would be the worldwide developer relations team. Apple deliberately leave policies up to interpretation so they can use the vagueness of their policy to accept one app and not another depending on the reviewers’ judgement at the time. Also the fact that the screenshot doesn’t have the standard plug for WWDC (been there for several years running) or the links to terms and conditions at the bottom is a bit suspect. Unfortunately, a lot of white label app publishers have taken advantage of this hoax and have deliberately used scare tactics to get customers to buy before the end of the year… Others have fallen in behind them not looking at the commercial bias. ---

Yes its a hoax, because demand of the cross platform is higher other development platforms. PhoneGap is good app platforms and provide good environment for building an app. Read this article: [https://www.9spl.com/blog/search-cross-platform-mobile-app-development-company/](https://www.9spl.com/blog/search-cross-platform-mobile-app-development-company/) ---
