Rogue Amoeba Quits iPhone App Development Because of App Store Delays
Developer Rogue Amoeba has decided to call it quits on iPhone app development, after four months of rejection from Apple over a bug fix. The company first submitted Airfoil Speakers Touch 1.0.1 in July, and it was rejected multiple times due to using pictures of Apple computers and Safari within the app. After three rejections, it was finally allowed through, with the offending chunk of functionality removed. Understandably, the developers were annoyed, and said the following on their blog:
Rogue Amoeba no longer has any plans for additional iPhone applications, and updates to our existing iPhone applications will likely be rare. The iPhone platform had great promise, but that promise is not enough, so we’re focusing on the Mac.
This follows on the wake of the Facebook iPhone developer resigning due to Apple’s policies.
apple being apple. This seems to be a new trend. Scare away developers. Way to go a holes at apple.
