- Apple has decided to remove the Launcher application for its app store last Friday.
- Apparently, this decision would have been taken after seeing the application to a misuse of Notification Center widgets.
Launcher is removed by Apple from the App Store
An app for iOS 8 Launcher, which allows users to create custom shortcuts and access them from a widget in the Notification Center has been removed from the App Store by Apple . The reason they have given Tim Cook is that the application does a "misuse of widgets", as the developers have explained in a post that has been published on the website of the application.
The method used to add application shortcuts was pretty simple. After installing the application, you could add both links to websites as applications installed on the phone. Once that had been selected, the user could choose what they wanted it to look in the notification center, for example, you could make a call via FaceTime to a specific contact, send an email or open an application.
Apple does not allow any application to modify iOS
The application was withdrawn Store overnight last Friday and Apple says there is no possibility of turning back so you can return to be included, mainly due to the modification that makes the control center iOS August .
"There is no basis in the written rules, the application had been approved by them at the time," wrote the developers Launcher on your blog, and say they were notified that they could release an update that did not include the widget within the Notification Center before it was withdrawn.
Users who already upgraded to the Pro version of the application through a purchase in the app will still be able to use the capabilities of this version, but nobody else will be able to purchase the upgrade or download. The developers have said that, while there is no new bug fixes or features that can be downloaded, users still have the ability to connect to their own servers and download updates to your list, giving them the ability to add new functions to the application for longer.
It should be mentioned that the developers tried unsuccessfully to make any updates to the application during the same last Friday to meet the requirements that Apple asked them in a first communication. After this, the Cupertino rejected not only the new parameters of App, but also withdrew from the App Store.
As we have seen in 9to5Mac , the fact that the app has been removed from the Apple app store, does not mean that those who already have downloaded, can not continue using it. But if you did not have just met and, sorry to tell you that you can no longer make use of it.
