Apple’s Updated Terms & Conditions Prohibit Apps From Promoting Other Apps

Last night many users of iOS device reported about the issue preventing them from making new purchases or redownloading previous purchases from App Store. When users attempted to make a purchase they were repeatedly asked to agree to App Store’s new Terms & Conditions. The issue, which is not rare when large number of users attempt to activate the updated Terms & Conditions at once, is currently fixed.

Today PocketGamer.biz reported that the new Terms & Conditions contain a clause that prevents apps from displaying other apps for purchase or promotion. It could mean troubles for promotional apps such as AppGratis and FreeAppADay and other cross-promotional services and apps.
