Re: Apple tells developer to kill iOS app widget after the company promoted it
#2This is a head-scratcher. I have two ideas about why Apple may have done this:
1. They are planning on releasing their own calculator notification center widget. 2. This is the hypothesis put forward in the article, that Apple conceives of notification widgets as essentially read-only sources of at-a-glance information.
Either way, it's clearly a case of the right hand not knowing what the left...etc.

Or a case of early validation for speedy AppShop deployment (which in 99.999% of the cases doesn't pose any further question), followed by human control and judgement (which takes a little more time).
I would rather see that as a good thing.
