Apple Blocks Google From Running Its Internal iOS Apps (theverge.com)

Posted by msmash on from the No-Mercy-Inc dept.

Apple has now shut down Google's ability to distribute its internal iOS apps, following a similar shutdown that was issued to Facebook earlier this week. From a report: A person familiar with the situation tells The Verge that early versions of Google Maps, Hangouts, Gmail, and other pre-release beta apps have stopped working today, alongside employee-only apps like a Gbus app for transportation and Google's internal cafe app. UPDATE: Apple has restored Google's Enterprise Certificate so its internal apps will now function.

    Good to see that Apple are not letting these big corps get away with breaking the rules.

      How do you figure? The enterprises affected so far have all been caught redhanded in the act of flagrantly misusing a "for in-house, internal use applications" license to intentionally deploy applications externally. The only enterprise level purchases who should be quaking in their boots are purchasers acting in bad faith.
