Although it seems that the storm around the bugs of the application of maps of Apple has subsided, there is still the question of when its users will be able to count on the other great alternative, Google Maps. The latest information received from Google They note that the company does not expect the Cupertino to approve their application when it is ready.
When the latest version of iOS 6, the native application of maps de Apple got practically all the attention due to the numerous glitches that populate it. The Cupertino people issued a public apology for this, indicated the alternative applications available to users and, it seems, have ensured that iOS 6.1 make reporting errors as easy as possible to continue improving it. However, even though they have already leaked pictures of her, the users of iOS still do not have what in principle will be the best solution: the application of Google Maps.
A great controversy has been unleashed in the past days in this regard. According to a recent Guardian story, Google he hopes to have his application ready for iOS to End of the year, but the company is quite skeptical about the possibility that Apple approve it immediately (in some media it has even been speculated that never be approved). On the other hand, the same sources that have reported this pessimism in Google about the approval of its application by Apple have not been explicit about their reasons for thinking this way. Obviously, the easiest thing is to suppose that those from Cupertino fear competition with those from Mountain View, and in fact it is not the first time that there is talk that they would be. delaying by the way. but other means, like Cnet, they affirm that it is only about the uncertainty that every developer suffers with Apple, as a result of the opacity and the high level of demand of the apple company regarding the applications that ask to access its App Store. As often happens in these cases, only time can get us out of doubt.
