Apple Pulls Keynote, Pages and Numbers From App Store [Update: Back]

Apple has temporarily removed Keynote, Pages, and Numbers from the App Store, just after releasing an update that added iPhone Duo support and a new Intelligent Assistant.

It is not clear if the apps were removed intentionally, or if it is a bug. Apple has not said when the apps will be reinstated, but if it was in error, they should return soon.

Update: The Mac versions are back without the new update. The iOS versions don't seem to have returned to the ‌App Store‌ yet.

First thing i do with these apps including garage band and iMovie is delete them on the iPhone and mac. Never used them and never will
Youre missing out. Pages and Keynote 14.5 (not the new post-tahoe slop subscription versions) are miles ahead of office 365 in ease of use, speed, stability, etc.

Numbers is good too for simple stuff but doesnt have the technical power of excel

The Keynotes, Pages, and Numbers app developers who added Duo support should wear this like a badge of honour ('https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-will-label-apps-made-for-iphone-duo-in-app-store.2492400/?post=34891228#post-34891228') 😜 😂
