Apple will finally make deleting your app accounts less of a nightmare

Maybe you’ve encountered the following problem: After mindlessly downloading an app that required you to set up an account, the process of deleting it was infinitely more painful. Well, Apple has finally acknowledged that app deletion should be straightforward and announced plans to enforce this change across its App Store last year at the company’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC).

The guidelines for developers can be read here but the gist of the matter is for any app that supports account creation, the process to delete one’s account should be easily available within the app’s interface. This requirement will go into effect on June 30 and will be applicable for any prospective app that is housed in the App Store.
