How to have your iPhone Application removed from Apple's AppStore
Friday, August 29th, 2008Apple offers a semi-automated way to publish your iPhone applications to the AppStore. But the frontend only offers the possibility to add new or update applications. What if you want to pull your applications from the AppStore? Probably an old application doesn’t meet your own quality standards any more or you want to prevent elgal issues. While Apple is known to have removed several applications from the store (remember the 1000$ app?
), it’s not obvious to developers how to remove your own app.
Log in to your account at http://itunesconnect.apple.com
- Select “Manage Your Apps”
- Select the desired application
- Select “Edit Information”
- Select the “Pricing” tab
- Uncheck all territory clearance
- Save your changes
This is actually the way suggested by Apple’s helpdesk! Looks good enough for me.
