App store approval with modified UISegmentedContro

Question

I have modified a UISegmentedControl so that it is vertical instead of horizontal- it looks like this:

Will using it this way cause my app to get rejected by Apple? If yes, what control would you suggest using instead? Thanks!

Answer 1

As long as you are not using private APIs to do this I would say you are fine. Apple strongly suggests following the Human Interface Guideline but there are modified controls like this all over the AppStore. I highly doubt you'd get rejected for your custom design.
