Apple has halted App Store gambling advertisements in response to developer outrage

According to a statement from spokesman Trevor Kincaid, Apple has “paused advertising linked to gambling and a few other categories on App Store product pages” after developers and critics protested the sorts of adverts appearing in the iPhone’s App Store.

Apple revealed on Tuesday that businesses may promote their applications on store pages for other apps by including their symbol in the “you might also enjoy” area. Almost immediately, developers began displaying instances of advertisements for gambling applications being promoted inside their apps.
