@Timothy: It was pure luck that they approved the overlay for 3D Camera Lite. However, we had to remove it completely from the full version. The good news is that it looks like there may be a way to add the functionality back (and more) into 3D Camera in an upcoming release.

What did you change / do to get them to approve your app? If I want to make an app that has an overlay image on it, do you think it will be rejected?

Simple thing that you can do.
Leave Apple and iphone development and try your stuff developing for Android.
I could bet a million dollars it won’t be rejected.

Hy,
I am a German Blogger and have written about your story as well as others, including Google Voice. Be sure that German developers have the same problems and that you are not alone with it. German T-Mobile iPhone users are reassessing there decision for an iPhone.
Cheers.

@Jeffrey: We’re surprised too. After this post, we resubmitted with an explanation of our technique, including a link to this write-up. We received the same word-for-word response that was quoted here. So, we’re still unsure that this is the reason for the rejection, but today, we removed the overlay completely, resubmitted, and we hope that this satisfies the reviewers. If not, we’re not sure what to do. If this version is approved, we’ll have to apologize to our users, because the overlay is what makes it easy to take two aligned photos.

Thanks for posting your experience. We’ve been rejected twice for RedLaser with the same message. More recently we’ve resorted to your solution of not actually traversing the hierarchy, but just overlaying. We haven’t heard back yet on that approach. I’m surprised you got rejected — I bet the reviewer just didn’t realize what you were doing. You should try submitting again.
