Dan Pražák Yesterday, Apple informed all developers about an upcoming change to the terms by which newly released app updates will be judged. Apple will require developers to ensure that all updates available from July this year are fully compatible with the iOS 11 SDK (software development kit) and have native support for the iPhone X (especially in terms of the display and its notch). If updates do not have these elements, they will not go through the approval process.

David Hanak iOS 11 SKD was introduced by Apple last September and brought several interesting new features that app developers can use. These are mainly tools like Core ML, ARKit, modified API for cameras, SiriKit domains and others. In the case of iPads, these are very popular functions associated with 'drag and drop'. Apple is gradually trying to get developers to use this SDK.
The first step was the announcement that all new applications that appeared in the App Store since April of this year must be compatible with this kit. From July, this condition will also apply to all upcoming updates to existing applications. If an application (or its update) appears in the App Store after this deadline that does not meet the above-mentioned conditions, it will be temporarily removed from the offer.
This is good news for users (especially iPhone X owners). Some developers have not been able to update their applications, even though they have had this SDK available for more than nine months. Now developers are left with nothing, Apple has put a 'knife in their neck' and they have only two months to fix the situation.

On the contrary, this is bad news. And that's for everyone who has some gadgets and "smart" devices at home. I'd rather have the app work poorly than to disappear from the app store and thus end up throwing away expensive hardware. This is the weakness of all the gadgets that Jablickar likes to review, namely the dependence on iOS and its support.
There is talk of updates. If there is an old app without ipX support, nothing happens. But when the author releases an update, it must include the mentioned support.
Well, if I delete it by mistake or if I want to download it again from the app store, I'm sorry, because it won't be there anymore.
That's only good. I don't understand why they are so lazy. Mapy.cz, CSOB and many others that are not just apps for gadgets as a colleague writes. Is it so hard to grant support for Xko in 9 months?
