 |  Users will soon be able to remove Apple's stock iOS apps Apple has added two new keys labeled "isFirstParty" and "isFirstPartyHideableApp" in iTunes metadata. These two new values started showing up a few weeks ago on every app in the App Store. The iTunes metadata is where all the information about an app is stored. It shows things like the date it was released, the App Store category it's in, its size, etc. The new keys suggest the ability to remove apps such as Stocks, Compass, and Voice Messages is coming very soon. Hiding is not removing, but at least this will solve part of the fast-growing unremovable crapware problem on iOS. http://osnews.com/story/29160/Users_...ock_iO S_apps |
