Hi
Apple has started to ban apps from their AppStore because of mentioning competing wearables in the description. For example Apple has banned the SeaNavUS app for mentioning the Pebble Watch.
Apple wrote to the developer:
?We noticed that your app or its metadata contains irrelevant platform information in the app. Providing future platform compatibility plans, or other platform references, is not appropriate for the App Store. Specifically, your app and app description declare support for the Pebble Smartwatch.? ? Apple
So what about the Microsoft Health app? In the description it clearly mentions the Band:
"Personalize your Microsoft Band and get new features as they roll out."
Apparently it's forbidden to mention "irrelevant platform information" in the description as well as in the app itself. So how will MS continue to support the Band on iOS if they are not allowed to mention it in the app? They couldn't even write: "Sync Band" or something like that...
They might have to pull support for iOS I guess.
