I have recently developed an App for iOS that makes use of the TMDb API (called "Must-See") and am about to publish it via App Store – but Apple rejects the App as I haven't provided any documentation that I am allowed to use the imagery presented within the App.
Therefore it would be great to know if you have and/or can provide any documentary on using the imagery (posters, backdrops and person images) or give any other helpful information to make sure I can get documentation on all imagery available via TMDb's API. I know there must be an easy way of getting through this step as there are already 5 Apps for iOS listed in the Apps Overview on TMDb (http://www.themoviedb.org/apps).
Here's an excerpt of Apples comment on their App rejection:
"We found that your app contains features that may infringe on rights owned by several parties such as Disney, Star Wars, Warner Bros, and Harry Potter, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
Specifically, we noticed your app contains imagery from the above mentioned films in your app screenshots, as well as within the app.
Please see the attached screenshot/s for more information.
Please provide documentary evidence that you have the rights to use this content to ensure compliance with the iOS Developer Program License Agreement.
Acceptable documentation includes a copy of your contract with the trademark/copyright holder and/or a letter from the trademark/copyright holder, to you/your company, detailing your authorization. Please make sure the documentation you provide specifies the rights for commercial use as the App Store is considered a commercial environment, even if you choose to offer your app for free."
Thanks in advance for any help!

What we have information about this problem is in this thread.
Some users managed to solve the problem.

And of course, there are numerous APPs in the Apple store that use TMDb data.
Surely they found a solution.
