Apple’s iOS Developer News is letting developers know how to implement Game Center achievements and leaderboard categories to their apps.
Apple has sent out emails to all registered iOS app developers, stating that they will no longer be accepting app submission via iTunes Connect after July 22. Instead developers will be required to upload their apps via the already existing Mac application called “Application Loader”.
We previously reported that Apple launches iOS 4.1 and iPhone SDK 4.1 to developers. At the time the changes in the update were unknown, but now we have a few details. The most prominent update is of course the changes in the signal bars, as Apple previously described.
Apple has just released iOS 4.1 and iPhone SDK 4.1 beta to registered developers. There is no word to what changes the updated iOS 4.1 brings, other than we are assuming the iPhone 4 signal fix is included in this update. We do know that app developers will need to ensure compatibility with this update, so it must bring some major changes.
As previously reported, developer Thuat Nguyen’s apps had been removed from the App Store after it became apparent that he was manipulating the App Store rankings by using compromised iTunes accounts to purchase his own apps.
A small number of iTunes accounts were recently hacked by an app developer named mycompany. The developer was using the compromised accounts to make unauthorized purchases of their book apps on the App Store, to artificially increase sales. The accounts were also reportedly used to author fake reviews and ratings.
