Apple has proactively gone through a process of removing a number of applications from its iOS App Store after a framework within those apps was discovered which violates the developer guidelines. An analytics firm had recently discovered the issue by shedding light on the fact that the Youmi advertising SDK - meant for China - uses its integration in iOS and Android apps to collect and store personal information about the user of the app, seemingly without consent. Such activity is prohibited by Apple's App Store guidelines and as such, the iPhone-maker has been quick in reacting to the discovery.
Another week on the App Store, and another app shedding its usual price tag. This weekend, Apple's Free App of The Week initiative is bringing us an adrenaline filled high flying action game that some people may actually pay good money for. The title usually retails for $0.99 on the App Store, but as mentioned earlier, can be downloaded absolutely free of cost right now, with the offer lasting for a limited period only.
It's that time of the week where Apple tosses a paid iOS app at users with its usual price tag stripped, but only for a limited period.

Apple has taken the opportunity to provide some additional information about a number of third-party iOS apps that were recently discovered to be infected with the XcodeGhost malware. After the existence of the XcodeGhost trojan filtered down into the public domain, Apple took a number of steps to not only combat the issue, but also provide clarification on what it means to users, developers, and how it plans to rectify the problem and ensure that it doesn't happen again. Now, as an addendum to that info, the Cupertino-based company has listed the top 25 apps that have been affected by the malware.
This week's App Store Free App of the Week is the excellent Worms3 for iPhone and iPad, and you can download it for nothing right now.
It's undeniably important that large corporations such as Apple recruit as many people as humanly possible to test and put beta software through its paces. It's even more important when that software is actually the underlying operating system that powers most of its mobile devices, namely iOS. With that said, it's also extremely important that those beta testers aren't allowed to penalise third-party app developers who work tirelessly to ensure that their apps and software are compatible come the final public release. You could almost hear the app development community chant in harmonious unison today when Apple finally banned iOS beta testers from leaving App Store reviews.
