Obligatory change logs for apps

[Endem]

Really stuffed wit ups updating without informing me about what has changed. Isn't there an obligation to post the change log?

 

[Keith Wallace]

There is obviously not. We see all of the Nokia apps not getting change logs.

There's no requirement to post change logs in store, nor do the developers have a requirement placed on them to keep change logs or indeed maintain any form of recognised development process. The resultant application code behaviours (functional) are what is governed by store rules.

Don't be fooled. The periodic update cycles are in the 101 tips for marketing apps book. Once the app is installed in user phone you have to give him incentive to use it otherwise you gain nothing. Letting the impression that it has great support and the user comes first is achieved by periodically updating the app(does not have to be a real update) so users will update get curious and reopen the app.
