Apple takes down all Emoji enabled apps
Posted on February 27th, 2009 CommentsArs technica has learned that Apple issued a sitewide takedown for all apps that enable Emoji:
…Apple has pulled all existing applications that do not provide functionality beyond Emoji enabling. We were told that Emotifun and iEmoji have already been removed from the store. Unlike other apps that provide a core program with Emoji features, these two titles existed solely to enable that hidden iPhone preference that lets any iPhone access Emoji.
Existing applications that offer Emoji enabling beyond their base functionality have been ordered to remove Emoji support. Fung told us that Apple has required an immediate update to his Typing Genius program with the Emoji support removed. This same order appears to have gone out to all developers whose App Store marketing text mentions an Emoji feature.
