Definitely, Apple is determined to create a new app store that is fairer, more moral and useful for users. Thus, to the expulsion of applications like Weed Firm for reasons presumably moralistic, now they arriveNew rules and policies to the App Store following the introduction of iOS 8 last week. And it seems that Apple wants to change the operation and content of its applications store , and for this it is willing to remove certain tools that do not respect the user, or that base their monetary policy on practices that are not very comfortable for the user, as is the case of Candy Crush Sagaand other important titles.
Apparently, a good number of developers have started receiving emails from Apple advising them of the changes they should apply to respect the new operating policies of the App Store Changes that are related to the bonus or benefits when consuming advertising videos within an application to get coins from a game or other types of credit, in addition to functions such as share via social networks to be achieved rewards, credits or content within an application. A good way to raise titles like Candy Crush Saga and force other users to accept invitationsor consume . Something Apple must not like.
These affected developers comment that the withdrawal notices of their applications have to do with different reasons, but all of them share the violation of the new policies implemented by Apple However, the new policies of the App Store will not only affect developers who have decided to use other means of promoting their tools and content. There are also companies and businesses that based their business on these systems of promotion A good example is Tapjoy, which offers the download of a promoted application instead of making a cash payment within an application. Something that has become completely unfeasible due to the changes that Apple has introduced after its developer conference WWDC 2014
Thus, it is clear that Apple does not want its users to consume such as videos or application downloads as long as they don't pay for content within a game or tool In addition, they seem annoyed with sending game invites via social media. Something that, on the other hand, users tired of these invitations and more or less abusive may like, but which also meant the possibility of enjoying all kinds of accessories in games and applications without scratching your pocket
At the moment it seems that big social titles like Candy Crush Saga are still active in App Store , although it is possible that the new policies of Apple encourage a change in habits among developers and the way they promote their applications. Changes that will be accompanied by a new functioning of the App Store thanks to better searches, the category bar and other news prepared for iOS 8
