For reasons unknown, throughout yesterday the account of the developer who created the popular Dash app, which we already talked about last May as a useful application to access different documentation of a multitude of programming languages offline, has been suspended. In this way, their applications, both for Mac and iOS, have been removed from their respective Apple stores.
Still, the app is still available on the your developer's website, and we can download it for our Mac. Something that we cannot do currently on our iPhone or iPad.
Far We do not know if there is any reason why this censorship, made by the apple company. The application developer himself, on his blog, describes the situation and ensures that he himself does not know what may have happened.
It seems that the problem would not come from the content of the app, since it did not violate any right, it did not reproduce anything illegal, if not rather for some kind of problem with the administrator account with the «Apple Developer».
The developer of kapeli, the company that owns Dash, says that tried to transition your apps from an individual account to a developer account throughout yesterday. So far everything normal since it is something quite frequent among the developers of the brand.
But, for this developer, what was the surprise to see that hours after making the change, your iTunes Connect account would be closed and the applications created and uploaded by him were withdrawn from the different stores.
He says that when he called the «Apple Developer» support, they told him that the transition between accounts was successful. However, the developer of kapeli received an email stating that your account was closed due to a "Fraudulent conduct". There was no further information.
It seems that the whole problem lies in some iTunes Connect automatic failure, for which Apple does not yet have a contingency plan. Hopefully they will soon solve these types of failures, which leave nothing alone for the brand's developer community, those who make a living by creating valuable content in the different online markets of the North American company.
we'll go updating the information as we know what's newhopefully positive.
