Hey GS ,
I submitted a MAC game with version 0.9.82 , to the mac appstore, and it got rejected because the open url behavior opens the browser behind the game when its in full screen mode .
The mail from apple :
Here is how we found this bug:
FaceBook, Twitter button opens up browser behind the game screen when the game played with Full Screen mode (default) so that user does not see if those are opening.
Now i don't know if this issue has been fixed in 0.9.85 (cause i can't use this version anyway) or in the next patch you guys about bring us , so if you can let us know if you address this problem cause its not a game breaker bug , but its an apple reject bug
Also , i would love to know if there is a way to restrict the game to "none full screen" only .
Looking forward to your reply with anticipation.
Roy.

Not sure what you mean, I have an option to select if the game will start on full screen or not, but I don't see an option to restrict it to none full screen only?
Also, a reply from GS about this "bug" would be nice .

First i though that the problem was because the game was opening in full screen mode at initial.
So i made a new build (0.9.82) making sure that the game is opening in "non full screen" and submitted the new build , after an hour , it got to "in review" 2 hours later , rejected ! for the same reason , they say that when in full screen mode and opening URL, the user can't see that the browser is opening, because the game is in full screen !
what do they want me to do? do they want the game to go out from full screen when a user presses a link? i don't think its achievable in GameSalad !
what is that mean? i can't link to url in Mac apps ?
GS please advise what should i do?
