For almost two weeks, Russia has been battered by sanctions over its aggressive invasion of Ukraine, which it says it wants to demilitarize and denazify. But many see these sanctions as insufficient and are calling for them to be tightened, for example by shutting down mobile app stores. App Store a Google Play, which would de facto cut off Russians from the digital world on their smartphonesonech. They would not only be unable to download new applications, but also not be able to update existing ones, which would ultimately mean, among other things, that if an error were to occur in them, it would be impossible for the developers to fix it. Minilittle by little Apple but so far App Store will not close.
You remember the App Store z iOS 10?
With claims of zero closure plans App Store was the first portal source to arrive on the territory of Russia 9to5mac, which apparently comes directly from Applu. However, it is only for Russian App Store another sanction has been prepared that will significantly affect its operation. Until further notice, advertising campaigns for applications that helped them appear in top search results and thus ensure more frequent downloads will not work in the store. This is why it will be difficult to assert yourself in the App Store very difficult for developers, and of course any attempt to make money will be worse for them, as they will suddenly not be able to get their applications to a larger number of people.
As Apple doses its sanctions against Russia gradually, when, for example, it only deactivated at the very beginning Apple Pay and stopped the supply of its products to the country and continued with a complete stoppage of sales of its products, it cannot be said at this time that this is the last threat from its side to Russia. In the foreseeable future, the closure will be peaceful App Store we can wait, although it must be added in the same breath that for this to happen, it would have to be Apple to respond to some act of Russia as its punishment. And since it is probably clear to all of us what nature this act would have to be, we can only hope that the strengthening of sanctions will soon no longer be necessary, in fact on the contrary.
So it seems that AppAfter all, the money of richer Russians does not stink, as I assumed
That way, the money doesn't stink for anyone and it doesn't matter if it's "Russian". I will not judge the whole of Russia for the act of one idiot, will I? It's like if you didn't buy anything in Germany, Hitler, because Hitler ruled there and automatically all Germans are bad.
