I was thinking maybe an "official" app submitted directly by the bitcoin team would have a better chance along with some talks / lobbying with apple. If that didn't work, they could do a public PR campaign about the rejection of the legit use of bitcoin.
It won't. Apple doesn't care who submits it, they care about how the client is used and what it's doing.
