Apple warns developers to be banned

The App Store has well over 500,000 applications and it is increasingly difficult for a new application for such an old, to succeed to emerge and to (re) position in the rankings. This is even more than the competition and the lack of promotions offered by Apple in the App Store ecosystem have created a parallel with a number of marketing companies to artificially boost apps offering positions in the App Store or create false opinions.



Apple seems to have decided to react and has posted a warning for developers:
This clearly indicates that developers or publishers who use solutions that promise or guarantee a position in the tops of the App Store could be banned from the development program.

This means that their applications would be at once removed from the store. Apple makes it clear that this will be (it) so even if the developer is not directly responsible for handling the positions or opinions but after using a third party service.




It seems that this happens after a post in the TouchArcade forum, evoking a commercial service using an automated solution to artificially raise the top applications in the App Store. Explicit fraud that Apple has to fight for the top of the App Store retains some meaning for consumers.

This follows a trend clearly in Apple's pay close attention to the contents of its App Store, knowing that the company withdrew a few days ago a number of applications that were clear and obvious copies of applications having been successful on the App Store.

Better to be warned ...

By the way, do you trust the top of the App Store apps for your choice?
