There is a useful Legal Guide to iPhone Application Development at informit.com. Managers need to be aware of the various clauses in it so that they do not violate the agreement and have the application pulled from the Apple Store.
There are clauses related to owning full rights to any music that is used within the application.
There should be no objectionable material in the application.
One should also obtain copyright protection.
One also needs to be aware whether the application was created by an employee of the company or an independent contractor.
One should also trademark one's application so that it can be distinguished from other applications of same nature.
The conclusion would be to take the legal issues associated with the development seriously as ignorance and inadvertent breach of these clauses can lead to problems later on.
