BoxOffice Removed From iPhone App Store For No Good Reason!

Apple has removed BoxOffice, the popular movie times and tickets application featured in our video segment "10 Best Free iPhone Apps," with apparently no reason given to developers Metasyntactic:

Apple pulled the app yesterday without giving my any notification that they were doing it, or what their justification was for removing it.

I've tried to contact them about the issue, but it's been a complete dead end. If anyone has a useful contact number for apple, please let me know.

I'm in regular contact with all my data providers, and none of them have had an issue with my app. Indeed, the response was the exact opposite. They like my app and have even asked if i would do custom application work for them in the future. Furthermore, all the data i use is licensed by the owners as 'free for non commercial use'. i.e. precisely what BoxOffice is.

So i'm stuck here not knowing what has happened, or what i can do about it. If any of you have any ideas, please let me know. You can respond here, but i'd actually appreciate a reply at cyrusn@stwing.upenn.edu since i probably won't check back here that often.

I can't possibly think of any reason why BoxOffice has been pulled. It doesn't violate any of Apple's license terms or NDA, so I'm baffled. It's an absolutely excellent app and I use it all the time on my personal iPhone.

Without more transparency in your process, Apple, you may have the beginnings of a developer riot, and that will certainly hurt your chances of becoming the next ubiquitous mobile platform. You've been warned.
