Apple quite often refuses to developers to place their applications in the App Store for various reasons. There are also cases when the application gets into the store, and then is removed at the will of Apple. And it has different reasons. Sometimes these reasons are due to the fact that Apple too much liked the idea of ??the application, which it then deletes.
In fact, there are times when developers are releasing an application in the App Store with a very interesting and useful function. Apple takes this feature to a note, deletes the application from the App Store, and then adds the feature to the new version of iOS. Developers have little benefit from this. It is easy to recall at least four such cases.
Camera + and release the shutter button with the volume button While shooting with the iPhone camera, you might not feel comfortable tapping on the camera's shutter button. Developers of the application Camera + added the shooting function by pressing the volume button. The application has been deleted. Then Apple said that such a change in the assignment of buttons can confuse and confuse users. In iOS 5, the standard application Camera released the shutter when you press the volume button.
Lux and Night Shift Appendix f. Lux, designed to save us from the blue light in the evening, deserved popularity among users of Windows and Mac, after which there was a version for iOS. In the App Store, the application never got it, because it required special permissions that iOS never gave, but it could be downloaded, and the app gained more popularity.
Apple contacted the developers and asked them to stop distributing the application for iOS. In iOS 9. 3, Night Shift mode appeared, which saved users from having to install f. Lux.
Finder for AirPods After the release of the wireless headphones AirPods, which obviously have the property of getting lost, one talented developer created the Finder application that could find lost headphones. After the release of Apple immediately decided that the application is not suitable for existence in the App Store, and in iOS 10.
3 there was a function to search for headphones in the standard application "Find the iPhone".
Coolpixel and screen recording The Coolpixel application was launched back in December 2016. Among the numerous functions was the ability to record video from the iOS device screen. In iOS 11, this feature will appear at the operating system level, and you can guess what happened with the application Coolpix. It was deleted, the developer uploaded it again, after which it was deleted again.
Many of this may seem not very fair.
