This move probably won’t come as a big shock to many people, given how little Apple appears to value the Mac App Store over the mobile version. Many problems have plagued the store, most recently a certificate bug that completely broke many apps for some users.Īnother issue highlighted by Sketch as having affected their final decision is the review process employed in both of Apple’s software distribution outlets.
While some iCloud features are reserved solely for App Store apps, iCloud documents for Sketch are stored in iCloud Drive, so they’re accessible to any Mac app, including the direct-sale version. A new license number will be emailed to the user to allow them to run the app on any other computers they want. Sketch owners who want to continue receiving updates will need to download a copy of the app from the company’s website and use a new built-in tool to transition their App Store license to the new version of the software. So as not to leave its customers hanging without the ability to update, Sketch will allow App Store customers to move to the direct-sale version of the app. The company cited a number of factors that contributed to this decision, including strict limitations placed on apps sold through the digital storefront-the same reason Panic gave for Coda’s removal. The developers of the UI design tool Sketch have announced their decision to exit the Mac App Store, following in the footsteps of many other software makers, such as Panic.
