It’s about time. Apparently, they’re finally automating scans of submitted apps for any calls to private API’s. This (the automation) is a good thing.
I’ve been following the back & forth between @mikeash and @jeff_lamarche over Rogue Amoeba’s decision to bail on iPhone app development. As with many such things, it’s worth considering the implications for the rest of us.
It seems that you just can’t trust anybody these days. Some players in the service world appear to be in a race to the bottom, and they aren’t above stretching their credentials a bit on the way down.
Shame on me. I didn’t realize that China Unicom would be setting up an independent app store that apparently doesn’t include current apps…
Apparently, the iPhone launch in China generated only 5K new customers for China Unicom. Ouch.
