Apple rejects apps that use 3D Touch as balance

The arrival of the new 3D Touch iPhone has opened doors to a host of new features, creating new interfaces and new ways of interaction.

But as expected, the 3D Touch was adapted and many now want to use it to further extend its usefulness.The problem is that Apple does not want and is to reject the applications that use it as scale.

The first applications that have transformed the Touch iPhone 3D on a scale emerged recently, showing that also this equipment can now be used to weigh objects.

Are solutions that run counter to use that Apple wants to give the 3D Touch, but actually fulfill what we proposed.

If the Plum-O-Meter, the first application to emerge, is out of Apple's App Store, are emerging others, such as Gravity, which wants to enter the Apple ecosystem and be on the app store.

But Apple has been rejecting these applications directly and specifically Gravity, not allowing to be available to iPhone users 6s and 6s Plus.

There is no stated reason for the Gravity has been rejected, but Ryan McLeod, its creator believes may be related to several factors.

We were-and still are-bummed to say the least, but we understand some of the Reasons Apple might not be Allowing scale apps at this time.

We understand que Gravity makes odd use of the API and 3D Touch sensor but know there are many que published apps use the iPhone's hardware in novel ways

Firstly the App Store is full of applications related to scales, which actually have nothing to do with the act of regret, because now there is only the possibility indirectly.

On the other hand Apple may be to want to protect your equipment against misuse. Sensors that detect the 3D Touch only can support weights up to 385 grams, which easily surpasses and can cause damage to the hardware.

It was not easy to Ryan McLeod and his team create Gravity, since the 3D Touch sensors only recorded force values, ranging from zero to the maximum, represented by 1.

The form found undergoes calibrate the scale with a basket of currencies, giving the Gravity the notion of weight, adjusting it to its scale.

With the stance now taken by Apple, hardly 3D Touch will have new features, keeping just like interface. It may not be the right position for many users, but Apple is only ensuring the protection of equipment, after avoiding problems with users.
