Apple reject iPad app for having more then 7 tab bar items

So to have less then 7 tab bar items, the only solution is to have customized "More.." butto开发者_如何转开发n?

Is there any other solution?

That's clearly stated in the human interface guideline.

Off course you can create your own navigation bar and even include horizontal scrolling into it so you can have as many 'tab' as you want. I did this myself for a magazine app and that was accepted (tab were actually pages obviously)
