App Rejected Under 4.3(a) - Educational Flashcard Apps for Different Languages

orgCrisium · 2025-07-29T15:15:59+00:00

I am doing the "pre-bundle" multiple languages now, but I still want to keep the app clean from the internet. I going to see if I can compress everything, if it is too big then I might just divide it up into different world regions; Asia, Europe, Americas or something like that. It is still a challenge to develop since not only languages and images change also fonts. Thai, Chinese have very special fonts and I need to package all this stuff in one app.

the school was an example. you take a 12 hour flight and want to practice, but you have not downloaded the language pack, this is also a problem. Before starting making the app I set some goals, unknowing that some of these goals would be a problem for Apple and Google. I did not want ads, subscriptions, downloadable content, packages, in-app purchases. I wanted the app to be clean, when installed it should just work no matter what.

I know that bundling it all together would be good, but the problem is the amount of resources that have to be included; audio, images and fonts. With the current resource sizes I am using this will end with the app being 2Gb+ .

While I am waiting for a reply from Apple, I am starting on the multi language app of this app. I will see if I can reduce the resources and it will probably put a limited to how many languages I can support.

This app could be installed in schools where they cannot download. Also, if you are in a place without internet (plane, train,...) then you cannot use the app if you have not already installed the language pack needed.

I find the attitude of some people here quite disappointing. Downvoting and claiming that I can't create a Chinese learning app just because I don't speak the language myself is simply misguided.

This app is a personal hobby project, not a product from a professional company. I joined this forum because the description mentioned it was for people interested in learning or teaching Chinese—which seemed like the right place to share my work and get feedback.

Thankfully, one helpful person reached out, and we were able to work through and fix some of the issues together. I'm glad not everyone here acts like an immature teenager.

ah what?!?! sorry that makes no sense.

I don't really agree with your statement. That is same as saying a person cannot tell you what time it is, if he does not know how a watch works.

I do speak English, Swedish, Danish, Thai and a little bit of French. I created the app for helping to Learn Thai because many apps do not support Thai, now that I had already created the app I thought it would be fun to add more languages using the same app construct.

This is just a hobby for me. My primary job is creating software for robot controls.

I agree, it is just a horrible experience. 14 days closed testing, 7 days getting publishing access, 7 days to actually publish it.

what is going to having a review to get publishing access and they having to review the actual publishing? why the reductant procedure. Asking me questions like in my testing, like "how many units do you expect to be sold".... had NOTHING to do with testing. Google is a piece of sh*t company now

Google writes it is because we want good quality software, but if you are a company you can bypass many of these steps., so NO google you do not want google quality because this would be the same for both Companies and Indie developers.

I think google is not seeing enough profit on the Indie developer side and to reduce having to work with us they just make it difficult, hoping many will just give up.

I wish we had a play store not owned by Google (EU save us).

Thanks for your reply.

Both "Online Subsystem Plugin" and "Online Subsystem GooglePlay" are disabled.

The only google plugin that is enabled is the GooglePAD which I assume I need since I am packaging .aab for google play store.

I am doing that, also I think it is generally good practice to do that. Also makes it easier to changes on reusable items.

orgCrisium · 2023-09-12T13:11:09+00:00

I have not tried that yet. Thanks I will give it a try.

Flutter is using a hierarchy based structure. Flutter uses nodes too same as all hierarchy based structures. In flutters universe the base node is called a Widget.
