Apple is now enforcing its policy against unused and dysfunctional apps even more rigorously. In 2016, the company said that they would remove applications on the App Store that stopped working. they are not keeping up with their latest guidelines. Well, that policy has come back to consciousness as this week, an Indie developer shared an email notice from Apple saying they had to update their games.

The email by Apple read: This app has not been updated in a significant amount of time and is Scheduled to be removed from sale in 30 days, no action is required for the app to remain available to users who have already downloaded the app. You can keep this app available for new users to discover and download from the App Store by submitting an update for review within 30 days and if not updated, submitted within 30 days, the app will be removed from sale

Game dev Robert Kabwe [Protopop] said, “I’m sitting here on a Friday night, working myself to the bone after my day job, trying my best to scrape a living from my indie games, trying to keep up with Apple, Google, Unity, Xcode, macOS changes that happen so fast my head spins while performing worse on older devices.”

Apple says that devs still earn microtransaction revenue even if the app is no longer in the App Store. Also, their programs will continue to work for people that have already downloaded them to their devices. The company says that the policy is designed to make it easier for customers to find great apps that fit their needs. It also notes it wants to ensure all the software you found on the platform is “functional and up-to-date.
