Suffice it to say, someone from Apple called me this afternoon and insists this is all a misunderstanding. (On their part.) Resubmitting.
And a few hours later:
I am happy to report that “Macworld’s iPhone and iPod Touch Superguide”-actual name!-is now in the App Store.
That was fast. Too bad it takes Apple days — if not weeks — to get such issues resolved for independent developers who don’t have their own Mac-based magazine and website.
