Apple blocks Google from running its internal iOS apps

Apple has shut down Google’s ability to distribute internal iOS apps, from early releases of Google Maps to tools like a shuttle bus app. Google’s certificate issue comes just days after Apple also blocked Facebook from running its own internal iOS apps.

Apple blocks Google’s ability to administer its internal iOS apps in a move to penalize Google for breaking its distribution policy. A similar shutdown was issued against Facebook earlier this week. The move came after both firms used special access for market research. Apple would apply similar penalties to all companies who get caught breaking Apple’s rules in the future.
