Daily Mobile Industry Snippets!
When Apple changed the words in its legalese that comes with the software development kit for its iPhone 4.0 OS, it appears that they planned to ban data collection and reporting from the analytics tools offered by firm such as Motally, Flurry, Localytics, Medialets and Distimo.
Finally, Apple has came out and explained what they meant. These firms are not being banned. So Apple’s notoriously long, secretive app approval process will probably get longer and more confusing to some developers. And analytics vendors will need to pay careful attention to what Apple considers acceptable and unacceptable. But they’re not being locked out.
