Even if an OS developer wanted to, they cannot do so. No given software developer or company assumes any responsibility for any other developer or software company’s products and IP. The terms of use for selling apps in the App Store say nothing at all about how a developer updates or keeps their software and intellectual property up to date. Blame the developer of the app for abandoning it.Ĭan Apple provide a concise method to restore if they aren't going to hold the developer to the Apple contract. To this effect, Apple provides test versions of their iOS operating systems so developers can test their Apps and update them as required before the update is released.Īpple is not to blame here. Its entirely the responsibility of the app developers to keep track of their Apps. There is no possible way for Apple to know if a change they make will break an App.
They and only they can verify their Apps work. Those are their apps they belong to them, not Apple. There’s no reasonable expectation for Apple to go in and verify millions and millions of apps before releasing an update to see if it will break them. Apple developers have no way of knowing how those apps are coded, or what features they may or may not be using. There’s literally millions of apps in the app store. It just shows the strong monopoly they have been allowed to expand. Their behavior is really not helping the community. It is so disappointing that the apple developers just don't take ownership to avoid breaking Apps.
