I’m not sure what you mean. My app is published. I actually jumped through the hoops because I wanted to learn how to jump through those hoops.

My project hasn’t been filtered at all. I just found the process more of a bureaucratic exercise than made sense (and the end result was that my low quality app was accepted so none of this is done in the name of quality).

Aside from the low-effort snark and lack of empathy towards someone's project, this is also how you filter people out of caring about software development at at a young age, and then who's going to keep the computer systems running?

I got apps on the store before age 18 because I did not believe they were low quality.

You also can make software without selling it on a store.

Nobody cares about the future, only the present. America forgot how to manufacture things, too, because it was momentarily uneconomical and there was no concern about how to keep the living knowledge going.

Having standards is a normal and health professional environment.

Both Google's and Apple's app stores are 99% slop by volume, so no, it's not working.

It's professionally made slop, engineered precisely for maximum value extraction. This guy's app presumably didn't extract value successfully so they don't want it.
