Apple may be tightening down on programs that haven't received any upgrades in a long time. Apple tells impacted developers in an email titled "App Improvement Notice" that it will delete apps from the App Store if they haven't been "updated in a considerable length of time" and gives them only 30 days to do so. A number of software developers, including Robert Kabwe of Protopop Games, have expressed their displeasure with the shift.
Kabwe claims on Twitter that Apple is threatening to delete Motivoto, a fully working game that hasn't been updated since March 2019. Meanwhile, Kosta Eleftheriou, the creator of the FlickType Apple Watch keyboard, claims that Apple removed a version of his program designed for the visually handicapped since it had not been updated in two years.
The once-super-popular Pocket God software, as Eleftheriou notes out in his tweet, is still available on the App Store, despite the fact that it was last updated in 2015. Apple is also deleting "a couple" of Emilia Lazer-previous Walker's games from the App Store, according to the developer. Several other developers have expressed similar frustrations, stating that they just do not have the time to update their products.
“We are establishing a continuous process of assessing apps, eliminating apps that no longer perform as intended, don't follow current review rules, or are obsolete," Apple writes on its App Store Improvements website. Because the website lacks a time stamp, it's impossible to tell when Apple published or last updated the post.
