Google Maps has an App for iOS 6 waiting for approval

After abandoning Apple, iOS 6, and have Google maps natively developed an app with its own maps, it was expected that the official release of iOS 6, these maps were more quality and other work done by Apple and its partners in this project.
There were many critics listened to inaccuracy and lack of quality that this app presented soon on the release of iOS 6. Compared with Google Maps, Maps, lags far behind. The Google rumored to have been tacked by The Guardian, have developed a very complete application for users of iOS 6 installing in their iDevices. This did not show up "on time" launch 6 because iOS is Apple for approval.



This information is baseless and in fact was one of the developers of Google, Steve Stroughton-Smith, who confirmed shortly, these news:

The same sources say that Google is preparing a Google Maps app for iOS6, which will appear in time. No official statement has been made and there will inevitably be questions over whether Apple will approve it in the App Store. (Apple might not, on the basis that it “competes with existing functionality”, but would invite a further backlash if it did.)

It was also heard that Google had already developed an application, GoogleMaps.app separately to iOS for some years now. additionally was known that this app had been submitted for approval and the Appe that would be part of the options for third-party apps for the new version of iOS. Is still waiting for approval.
This state, awaiting approval, can take quite. enough see the case of Google Voice that took years until the Apple approve. This is because Apple can claim that an application of third "duplicates services natives" are on iOS, even though there are some apps on the App Store for years, for example, Google Earth.
Last month, Apple returned to the place in purgatory app search with Google Voice, alleging that resembled the Siri.

This app had been submitted in 2009 but since then Apple has always rejected.
During the first 24 hours, the application Apple Maps received a ton of negative feedback from the press and some users. Obviamete the Maps app has many innovative features that did not exist in the Google app for iOS, such as navigation turn-by-acurva, integration of Siri, and more, but many have found in Apple's Maps one course quality deficit since Google had reached a level of quality and accuracy very interesting. There are those who are have fun with this poor popularity of Google Maps, and who else will can take advantage of this bad wave.



Therefore, there is a fantastic app ready for iOS 6 of Maps, remains Now whether or not Apple will allow this app afronte the Jobs and investments made by the Cupertino brand. [from]
There are facts that may allow Apple to refuse, but there above all, a lack of quality that users of iOS are complain. Can we expect a big update coming soon to Maps or Apple will open the door to competition?
