- some devs probably
Should, well said. Too bad some devs develop an app among them good apps then they update them like once or twice a year. It's very frustrating.
There was a time when you bought software and that was it. Now people complain that their free app isn’t updated often enough.There was a time when you bought software and that was it. Now people complain that their free app isn’t updated often enough.
Developers have a responsibility to update their apps and follow the guideline Applelaid out. If they can’t do that then maybe they need to rethink about being a developer. In 2019 people expect high quality apps to work with their new phones they bought.
Should be required by end of 2019
