Summary:
A popular app gets yanked from Apple’s App Store, illustrating the danger of betting it all on one mobile OS.
AppGratis, an iOS app that offers users a free app each day that they’d normally have to pay for, is having a rough week. On Friday, Apple removed AppGratis from its app store, saying it ran afoul of two store guidlines: one banning apps that promote other apps, and another banning use of push notifications to send ads or direct marketing.
