And, instead of providing APIs to help make those apps less sketchy... Apple decided it would be easier to just ban them.
Apple clearly thought they were valuable enough to customers to keep around before the release of Screen Time, even with the sketchy method they had to use.

- coder543 6y agoMany APIs can be used for sketchy things. Supposedly, that’s one thing the App Store review process is meant to catch.
- user-the-name 6y agoYou can't detect everything in review. iOS has always been designed as not to offer APIs that can be used for particularly harmful purposes.
- coder543 6y agoI agree completely. I'm still not a fan of Apple sherlocking popular apps and then proceeding to ban those apps that carved out the market for them... that's a very anticompetitive move.
