In April 2018, Ionic View for iOS was removed from the Apple App Store due to violations of the App Store's Terms of Service, specifically regarding rules about apps being self-contained and not executing external code. Despite removing a QR code feature and resubmitting the app, it was rejected again for loading web content in a manner that Apple deemed non-compliant, sparking concerns among cross-platform tool developers about a potential policy shift targeting developer testing apps. Ionic reassured its community that this issue is specific to testing apps and does not reflect broader rejections of hybrid or JavaScript apps while working with Apple to address the compliance issues and developing alternative solutions to support developers.
