Juno, a widely praised unofficial YouTube app for Vision Pro, has been removed from Apple’s App Store after complaints from Google, according to Juno’s developer Christian Selig. Google suggested that the app violates their trademark, marking the latest setback for Selig who had previously shut down his popular Reddit client Apollo due to changes in developer policies. Selig emphasized that Juno was a “hobby project” for him and he has no desire for drama. Google referenced its trademarks and iconography in their complaint, stating that Juno does not adhere to YouTube guidelines by modifying the website. Selig argues that Juno is simply a web view that acts like a browser extension, and he believes it complies with branding guidelines. Google has mentioned that a YouTube app for Vision Pro is on their roadmap, but has not provided further details. Selig assures users who have paid for the app that they can still use it for now, although a future YouTube update may render it unusable.
