Apple enforces 3.0 compatibility

Apple has sent out an email informing all enrolled developers that they have begun refusing applications that aren’t compatible with iPhone 3.0. 3.0b5 has recently been pushed out to developers and Apple is now testing ‘all’ submissions on the beta firmware to check for compatibility. Apple also said that it would be redacting any app that’s already in the apps store that isn’t compatible with 3.0 when it launches in June.

As yet I’m unsure of how compatible most apps are on 3.0. All the applications I’ve had the pleasure to play with on 3.o from the 2.0 era run fine without any obvious incompatibilities. Here’s hoping those developers that aren’t engaged in updating their app for 3.0 features don’t have to do much to see their app through. Mind you it might be a good time to cull some of those farting apps.
