iA announced that it will no longer develop the Android version of its iA Writer focused writing app because of Google policy changes. (iA Writer is one of my favorite Markdown apps.)

“A couple of months ago, Google changed its API policy and revoked iA Writer’s access to Google Drive on Android,” the company explains. “By freezing up Android’s main storage option, our app was frozen in carbonite. It still lived, but we couldn’t move forward before resolving it.”
