Apport is on the phone, you need to turn it on in system settings.

The terminal works fine but I guess it depends how you are trying to
bastardise your system with it that will make it work or not work for
you.

Oh and I installed it from the store when I read your mail to be sure.

Where did you submit your app too? What do you mean you submitted an
app untested, it is allowed you'll probably find it just didn't work
because your app failed the tests and so is in manual review? The
emails from the store should of told you that.
