Mark Fiore, who won the prize for animations that ran on SFGate.com, submitted an iPhone app to Apple last year and received an email informing him that his application had been denied.

The app was in violation of a clause in the iPhone developer agreement that allows Apple to reject materials that it believes may be found "objectionable."

But a representative from Apple called the cartoonist Thursday and suggested that he resubmit the app, Mr. Fiore said in an interview. "I feel kind of guilty," he said. "I'm getting preferential treatment because I got the Pulitzer."
