Google Maps approval for iOS unlikely

Google is currently working on its own Google Maps app for iOS, but it’s said that the app will struggle to get past Apple’s approval procedure.

According to multiple sources working close with Google, the company is “not optimistic” that Apple will approve the dedicated Google Maps App.

The app will apparently be ready soon, but that’s in the “unlikely event” that Apple’s approval goes through.

Apple’s iOS 6 operating system released in September, and ousted Google Maps in favour of Apple’s own in-house Maps app.

Apple’s Maps has since been criticised for inaccuracies.
