And Petr Svoboda is behind this legendary Czech series.

And all parts, except for the fifth one, have already been released for iOS device. What hardships and problems awaited the small developer in such a task? Petr talked about this Svoboda spoke on his own personal YouTube channel.

The first obstacle was the need to learn how to work in the given development environment, then set up certificates and also purchase a lot of them. iOS and Android devices for testing purposes. At first, everything went smoothly and Polda even occupied the first place in the ranking of best-selling applications for some time. The first problem occurred about two years ago, specifically with Polda 2. AppThe presence of Adolf Hitler was not liked. The studio was even compared to fascists and Nazis, and there was even a threat of deleting the entire account on App Store.

The whole situation resulted in several emails, where Svoboda explaining that he was not really a Nazi and that he was just making fun of Hitler in his play. Several phone calls followed, during which he answered many different questions, and he also had to send the commission a complete script. About a month later, Polda 2 was again placed on App Store, that is, except for the German one.

Another problem was Polda 3 and his miniThe game It's raining. According to the approval committee App It is said that this is a dangerous and addictive gambling game. Pro To be allowed, the game would have to receive a special license from the US Gambling Commission. To do this,onec did not occur and miniThe game is simply missing from the game. Instead, the player will only see a screen where the whole situation is explained and they only have the option to decide whether they would win or lose in Prší.

Google was not left behind either

Recently, it was Polda 6's turn, this time they found a problem with the staff.ancand Google. This problem is also rather funny. Google had a problem with the main image for the game, which shows a woman with disproportionately large breasts and standing in a lascivious pose. This is exactly how the problem was described and you can judge for yourself in the gallery whether the accusation was justified in your opinion. So the image was edited and the breasts were reduced, the problem solved.

And no, we're not done yet. Then, a warning came about one of the promotional images for the game, which contains vulgar language. In the game, the controllers probably didn't get to this scene, because all they had to do was delete this promotional image and this problem was solved. So, at the moment, everything is fine and all the mentioned games are currently on App Storu a Google Play you will find.

This example clearly shows how one developer or small studio really doesn't have aanceven with Applem or Google to negotiate. And even if nobody in the Czech Republic would have ever thought that Prší could be a gambling and addictive game, Apple simply claims that it is so. And the developer simply has to respect that. Of course, only if they want to continue to have their game on App Store.
