Apple received significant criticism for the decision to reject the app from the App Store. Not only did it seem like an arbitrary decision, but it also actively endangered the lives of protestors who were reliant on the map for information about the extremely violent actions of the police. Apple has previously been accused of acquiescing to China’s censorship and human rights abuses, such as when it agreed to ban all VPN apps from the App Store in China.

Following the outcry, Apple decided to admit the HKmap.live app to the App Store yesterday, where it is now available to download. The app developers were happy with this outcome, saying that they believed the decision was more of a bureaucratic issue rather than a political decision and writing, “We understand @Apple have many business considerations, but since they already make thing right I don’t see any point to keep pressing.”
