There are a number of reasons for Sketch leaving the Mac App Store— many of which in isolation wouldn’t cause us huge concern.However as with all gripes, when compounded they make it hard tojustify staying: App Review continues to take at least a week,there are technical limitations imposed by the Mac App Storeguidelines (sandboxing and so on) that limit some of the featureswe want to bring to Sketch, and upgrade pricing remainsunavailable.
The Office apps available from the Mac App Store provide the very latest version of Office on the Mac. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook require a Microsoft 365 subscription to activate. OneNote and OneDrive do not require a Microsoft 365 subscription, but some premium features may require a Microsoft 365 subscription.
We should also add that this move is not a knee-jerk reaction tothe recent certificate expiration problems that affected so manyMac App Store customers. However, in light of what happened, wecan’t help but feel vindicated in our decision that the Mac AppStore is not in our customers’ best interests right now.
Deeply troubling indictment of the Mac App Store. Sketch isn’t the first big name professional app to be pulled from the Mac App Store (Bare Bones Software’s BBEdit, Panic’s Coda, Quicken, just to name a few). But Sketch is the poster child for Mac App Store era professional Mac software. It’s the sort of app Apple might demo in a keynote — and the winner of an Apple Design Award. Apple thinks so highly of it that they provide Sketch templates for Apple Watch UI designers. It’s incredibly popular (and was among the top-grossers on the Mac App Store), Mac-only, and they want no part of the Mac App Store.
The Mac App Store should be designed to make developers like Bohemian Coding (and Bare Bones, and Panic, etc.) happy. It should make developing for the Mac better, not worse than selling outside the App Store. These are among the best apps on the platform, from developers who have been loyal to Apple and the Mac for decades.
The Mac App Store is rotting, at least for productivity software. There’s no other way to put it. If this hasn’t set off alarm bells within Apple, something is very wrong.
