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.

That is like half a year later. Isn't that too late already?

Developers have a responsibility to update their apps and follow the guideline Apple
laid 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.
