They won't pull the Netflix app, they just won't let it update until they've made changes. Spotify tried directing users to the web and that's what happened with them.
- vbezhenar 8y agoWhat if Spotify would make their app using JavaScript (something like React Native or Cordova) with ability to update bypassing AppStore?
- BeefySwain 8y agoThey would reject the update that attempted to roll out that system.
- Teknoman117 8y agoExcept that bunches of apps with that model are being accepted now.
- josephcooney 8y agoThat doesn't matter. The app store review process isn't an impartial court of law, where everyone gets a fair hearing. If apple want to do things for competitive or capricious reasons, they can.
- ceejayoz 8y agoLive-updating apps are fine. One that attempts to use that functionality to get around the App Store's guidelines, especially one as prominent as Spotify's, will be noticed and yanked from the store.
- wilsonnb3 8y agoIf I was Spotify, the absolute last thing I would want to do is piss off Apple seeing as Apple Music is their main competitor right now.
