Can i use Apple cover in iPhone app?

Question

In my application, I want to give the user the ability to add comments to the listed item. Instead of showing the "Add Comments" button, I want to show a little icon. Being lazy, but also using the visual language of the Mac user, I would like to use the TextEdit application icon. What will Apple think about this? Obviously, I could develop something myself, but this is another topic.

Answer 1

I would completely avoid this. Because Apple is launching the iPhone app approval process, they may reject your application in order to infringe on rights that might work with copyright or trademarks.

In terms of perspective, I don’t think the TextEdit icon works best for the add comments icon. This seems too general. I think your best bet is to create something yourself or find a free online video.

Answer 2

Apple rejected the update for my application because this icon (in the center) , drawn by the designer for me and not having any copyright from Apple, represents the iPhone.

I would not want your luck. Stay away from Apple IP.

Answer 3

I believe that this would be a copyright violation if you did not receive written permission from Apple. They have copyright and trademark .

Answer 4

Yes!!! You can use your badges and they encourage it:

System icons

iOS provides many small icons — presenting common tasks and content types — for use in navigation bars, tabs, toolbars, and quick actions on the home screen. It is a good idea to use these built-in icons as much as possible because they are familiar to people.

Providing alternative text labels for icons. Alternative text labels arent visible on the screen, but they allow VoiceOver to hear that on the screen audibly, making navigation easier for people with visual impairments.
