Some iOS developers have reported that Apple has been removing HealthKit compatible apps from the App Store following their rollout earlier today ahead of the public iOS 8 release due to issues with the HealthKit framework. Affected apps include titles such as Carrot Fit, MyFitnessPal, and WebMD, all of which disappeared shortly after releasing updates for the new Health features in iOS 8.
Apparently Apple found a HealthKit issue on their end and have temporarily removed all HealthKit compatible apps.
No ETA on fixes. — Federico Viticci (@viticci) September 17, 2014
Well that’s a relief. Just got a call from Apple, there’s nothing wrong with CARROT Fit.
HealthKit is just broken and isn’t ready to launch. — Brian Mueller (@BrianMueller333) September 17, 2014
Another large health-releated app developer has also apparently delayed launching HealthKit integration in its apps due to delays from Apple. It is not known what the specific problem is or when these apps will reappear on the App Store.
