Apple blocks Google from running its internal iOS apps

I imagine they're going to have a pow-wow with Google/FB execs and/or legal where they will all agree that the rules really are the rules and Google/FB will promise not to break them again, and Apple will restore the certs. Probably in less than a week. Apple has made their point, and there are good reasons to maintain a cordial relationship.

That sounds right- they may also ask for other PR concessions, like very publicly admitting they violated the terms of the agreement and re-committing to being good citizens of the iOS developer community.

One sort of "rubbing their nose in it" term could be something like a large donation to some sort of privacy advocacy group or similar.

> they will all agree that the rules really are

You mean like the terms of the Enterprise agreement? The terms that were already agreed to?

Yea. That's exactly their point. The rules are the rules.
