Apple Bows to Developer Complaints
Sep 9, 2010, 8:00 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Apple today released a statement about some revisions it is making to its developer guidelines. It is making changes to sections 3.3.1, 3.3.2 and 3.3.9 that, in effect, reverse some of the changes Apple made earlier this year. Apple explained, "We are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need. In addition, for the first time we are publishing the App Store Review Guidelines to help developers understand how we review submitted apps. We hope it will make us more transparent and help our developers create even more successful apps for the App Store." Apple had upset developers earlier this year when it imposed the third-party tool restrictions. Apple says that it took developer feedback to heart and decided to make this change in reflection of developer wishes. The end result should mean better applications for iOS users in the long run.
