The first clue that developer Charlie Monroe discovered about his ejection from Apple’s development program was users complaining that their apps stopped working — despite still being available on the Mac App Store.

As Apple continues to face controversy over its App Store policies and fees, software developer Charlie Monroe has told AppleInsider that the company has killed all his apps with no warning.
