“Apple announced an RSS feed for iPhone developers, opening a communication channel for news and announcements surrounding the App Store. Although the App Store has proven a considerable success for Apple, currently hosting more than 100,000 apps, its size and exponential growth have led to outsider calls for more proactive regulation, including the weeding-out of useless apps and fake positive reviews. Apple also announced that iTunes Connect, a tool for managing applications and accessing reports, will be offline from Dec. 23 to Dec. 28.”
RSS feeds are extremely common; why is this even news?
I’m guessing because the app store has been heavily criticized on here and this is the first piece of positive news regarding the openness of the app store for a long while now.
Personally I found it interesting (me being one of the more vocal against the app store)
