The Runkeeper app explicitly mentions Pebble Support, and was released on the 20th of April.

I'm going to wait a little before passing judgement on this. Could just be a bad review/er.

I do feel sorry for these devs though, running to 'the press' is something Apple passive-aggressively warns you not to do. Their future app-approval life could be quite unpleasant after this.

Then the "bad" reviewer would have been the one the approved the RunKeeper app since the guideslines specifically state that "Apps or metadata that mentions the name of any other mobile platform will be rejected"[1].

Edit: I do not endorse the app store guidelines.

Except Pebble isn't another mobile platform. It is an accessory.

Pebble has apps: http://www.wareable.com/apps/the-best-apps-for-pebble-and-pe...

And Pebble works even when you don't have your phone with you, so it's more of a mobile platform than Apple Watch.

define "works even when you don't have your phone with you"? I have one, and most of the useful features definitely require my phone.

Can you elaborate on this? What language do they use?

It’s in the App Store Review Guidelines introduction: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

“If you run to the press and trash us, it never helps.”
