1) We have see exactly THIS text with Jon 10 days ago,
When they rejected it first time...

2) Their support-engineer have told us that coping of their ICU inside of
.app should work.

I think, that Jon and may be you together now  again touch Jason - support
guy,  about this new reject even with our copy of ICU.


This is absolutely MISTAKEN politic  I believe.

Because look guys, EVEN if tomorrow we will add
    ICU as absolutely own build, it also will contains that function name.
    
RIGHT ?!

So Apple is going reject ALL applications that use ICU ????????


This is not right of course.

Please keep talks to Apple.
They do mistake here.


MAY BE Apple will MARK your apps as using OWN ICU copy,
And will not reject future.
