If you were wondering what else might possibly go wrong in thethat has been Elon Musk’s Twitter rebrand, the answer is: the App Store reportedly won’t let him change the iOS app’s name. The snag is due to an App Store rule that mandates its iOS apps have a minimum of two characters, according to tech blog BleepingComputer, which first reported the issue.
The restriction seemingly only applies to the app on its Store page; once installed, the app’s name becomes X. “If they manage to obtain approval, it would mark the first instance since the inception of the iOS App Store that such a permission has been granted,” said noted data scientist Nick Sheriff, who outlined the problem in a tweet. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
