Phantom App Updates, Part 3
Is Apple creating updates for 3rd party apps now?
This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included.
Apple inserted this text into my app and issued an update with the same version.
I’m sure about it as I update the app on my phone as soon as I publish it. Imagine my surprise seeing another update a day later with the same release notes, but this prefix added.
Matt Neuburg (via David Deller):
VLC is also showing this. Moreover, I already updated XScreenSaver to this version, yet now I am seeing this modified listing to update to. […] Personally I'm kind of afraid to download those updates just in case the App Store has been hacked and evil payloads injected somehow.
This has happened twice before, and it’s probably nothing to worry about, but it’s weird that I don’t think we ever got an official explanation from Apple.

I mean...is it? They're not the chattiest of companies, especially if there's a chance they are messing with things.
