Apple Just Yanked Juno YouTube Streaming App For The Vision Pro From The App Store

The Apple Vision Pro has been around for a few months at this point, but Google is yet to launch a YouTube app for the spatial computer.

The result is that there is a desire for ways to watch YouTube content without heading into Safari, and now there is one less way to do just that.

The Juno app by developer Christian Selig has proven to be a great option and a hugely popular one, but it’s now been removed from the App Store after YouTube claimed that it was violating the company’s Terms of Service.

As you might imagine, Selig believes that YouTube is overstepping the mark.

I don’t personally agree with this, as Juno is just a web view, and acts as little more than a browser extension that modifies CSS to make the website and video player look more “visionOS” like. No logos are placed other than those already on the website, and the “for YouTube” suffix is permitted in their branding guidelines. Juno also doesn’t block ads in any capacity, for the curious.

Thankfully, those who have the app installed will continue to be able to use it but those who need to migrate to a new Apple Vision Pro or restore their existing one will unfortunately no longer be able to install the app.
