Apple has now broken all of Google’s internal iOS apps
Google is joining Facebook in iOS hell.
Apple has now revoked Google’s Enterprise Certificate, breaking all of the search engine’s internal apps, according to The Verge.
A source familiar with the situation informed the news outlet that pre-release beta versions of Google’s iOS apps have stopped working as of Thursday.
These apps include new builds of Gmail, Google Maps, and Hangouts. Apps meant for internal company use, such as the search engine’s cafe app and Gbus transportation app have also ceased working.
“We’re working with Apple to fix a temporary disruption to some of our corporate iOS apps, which we expect will be resolved soon,” said a Google spokesperson in a statement provided to Mashable.
On Tuesday, TechCrunch uncovered a Facebook Research VPN app that was being distributed to its users via Apple’s Enterprise Developer Program. The app tracked the mobile phone usage habits of those partaking in Facebook’s program. Apple’s own policies deem this use-case as a “breach of their agreement.”
“Any developer using their enterprise certificates to distribute apps to consumers will have their certificates revoked,” an Apple spokesperson told Mashable yesterday in reference to Facebook’s certificate revocation due to its own Research app.
