We recently reported that the popular iPhone puzzler Aurora Feint [Free, App Store] was pulled from the iTunes App Store over concerns of user data storage.
We’re happy to report that Jason Citron has posted a release indicating that the issues have been cleared up with Apple and an updated version (v1.0.0.1) is now available for download.
I spoke with Apple today. It turns out there was a miscommunication on both ends and it caused this whole process to take a lot longer than it should have. We sorted out the privacy issues with Apple. The update contains all sorts of security measures to keep your data safe. And even better, we’re back with their endorsement. We’re up on the “What We’re Playing" section of the Games page on iTunes!
What’s more, the update contains many bug fixes, security features, and new gameplay content.
