Curatenia masiva de aplicatii promosa de catre compania Apple pentru AppStore a inceput, dezvoltatorii primind deja instiintari cu privire la retragerea aplicatiilor din magazin. Cei de la Apple au analizat aplicatiile disponibile in AppStore, iar dezvoltatorii celor care nu au mai fost actualizate de cativa ani au fost deja contactati de catre Apple.
Cei din Cupertino le cer dezvoltatorilor sa isi actualizeze aplicatiile pentru a le implementa cele mai noi tehnologii pentru iOS si a le oferi un design mai bun. Dezvoltatorii au la dispozitie 30 de zile pentru a face aceste schimbari, iar dupa aceea titlurile lor vor fi scoase din AppStore pana in momentul in care vor fi actualizate.
Mai jos aveti un email primit deja de catre un dezvoltator care nu si-a mai actualizat aplicatia de aproximativ 4 ani, deci nu prea mai existau motive ca ea sa fie in AppStore. El are 30 de zile la dispozitie sa o actualizeze, daca mai prezinta vreun interes pentru el, sau aceasta va fi scoasa automat de catre Apple din AppStore.
In AppStore, peste trei sferturi dintre aplicatii nu au mai fost actualizate de cel putin 1 an, iar mult mai multe nici macar n-au inregistrat vreo descarcare. Realitatea este ca AppStore este plin de aplicatii nefolositoare, care nu ajung in atentia oamenilor, iar Apple trebuie sa-si curete magazinul de ele cat mai repede.
Dear Developer,
On September 1, 2016, we announced that we’re implementing an ongoing process of evaluating and removing apps that no longer function as intended, don’t follow current review guidelines, or are outdated.
We noticed that your app has not been updated in a significant amount of time.
Next Steps
To keep your app on the App Store, submit an updated version for review and make sure it follows the latest App Review Guidelines. If you are unable to submit an update within 30 days, your app will be removed from the App Store until you submit an update and it is approved.
If Your App is Removed
Your app will remain fully functional for current users. They will experience no interruption to services, will still be able to buy in-app purchases, and can re-download the app while restoring from an iCloud or iTunes backup. However, we recommend that you update your app as soon as possible to reinstate it on the App Store and ensure that it remains functional and engaging for new and existing customers.
You can continue to use your current app name, as your app has not been deleted from your account.
