Apple Asks PCalc Developer to Remove iOS 8 Widget

Federico Viticci:

As tweeted by PCalc developer James Thomson today, he will be forced to remove the app’s iOS 8 widget. Following an approval that saw PCalc 3.3 launch alongside iOS 8 and a feature in Apple’s “Great Apps for iOS 8” App Store section, the company has informed Thomson that “Notification Center widgets on iOS cannot perform any calculations”.

Curious decision by Apple. Their reasoning is pretty dense since, as Viticci mentions, Apple has a calculator extension for Yosemite, but not iOS 8.
