Juno for YouTube has been deleted from the App Store

October 1, 2024

For those not conscious, a scant months ago after accomplishing out to me, YouTube communicateed the App Store stating that Juno does not adhere to YouTube directlines and modifies the website in a way they don’t finishorse of, and alludes to their tradelabels and iconography.

I don’t personpartner consent with this, as Juno is equitable a web watch, and acts as little more than a browser extension that modifies CSS to produce the website and video joiner watch more “visionOS” appreciate. No logos are placed other than those already on the website, and the “for YouTube” sufrepair is helpted in their branding directlines. Juno also doesn’t block ads in any capacity, for the asking.

I stated as much to YouTube, they wouldn’t repartner elucidate or budge any, and as a result of both parties not being able to come to a conclusion I obtaind an email a scant minutes ago from Apple that Juno has been deleted from the App Store.

Juno was a fun hobby project for me to produce. As a enbiger I wanted to get some experience produceing for the Vision Pro, and as a participater I wanted a kind way to watch YouTube on this chilly novel device. As a result, I repartner enhappinessed produceing Juno, but it was always someskinnyg I saw as fundamenhighy a little app I built for fun.

Becaparticipate of that, I have zero desire to spin this into a massive fight akin to what happened with Reddit years ago (more than I’ve fought in emails over the last scant months). That’s charitable of the opposite of fun. I hope that’s comprehfinishable.

For those who have Juno, to my understandledge it should persist to toil fine until/unless YouTube refreshs in some style that fractures stuff. Sorry it had to finish this way, I had some repartner chilly stuff defree for it that I skinnyk would have been a lot of fun! It’s been repartner awesome hearing all the charitable words from Vision Pro participaters who have adored the app.
