Application developers certainly need some assurance whenever they spend money and time for their creations.

According to Jason Snell, the editorial director of Macworld, Apple Inc. is now lacking the transparency that the developers need. Aside from that, the company also does not have enough clarity as well on how they would reject or approve applications that will be available on the App Store. These are the applications that would work on the Apple devices such as the iPod Touch and the iPhone. Jason Snell said that these factors may lead the developers to a point where they would just walk away from creating applications for the App Store.

Recently, Apple Inc. made another absurd decision when they denied the podcasting management program from the App Store. They said that the application duplicates the functionality of the iTunes’ Podcast section.

Aside from that, Jason Snell also noted that the G1 mobile phone from Google apparently sets no limits or restrictions on what application can or cannot be added to the Market application store.

If Apple Inc. continues to have the same attitude towards the developers, it is likely that developers would just shift to the Android-based platform and leave the iPhone instead.
