Google puts an end to one of the best YouTube apps for Vision Pro

Juno just disappeared from the app store for Apple Vision Pro. This application is considered the best YouTube client for Apple’s mixed reality glasses. Many users have found themselves with the void left by the disappearance of Juno in the Vision Pro store. Who is behind this movement?

What has been known thanks to a publication made by Christian Selig, Juno developer, has allowed us to know that It has been Google that has been in charge of making its application disappear. Yes, Mountain View has taken action against Juno because it infringes YouTube’s trademark.

It is not the first time that Christian Selig has found himself in this type of situation. The developer had to terminate Apollo, a Reddit client, due to the social network’s new policies for the use of the API. Juno was his next project, now seen affected by Google policies.

Of course, for Selig this situation is different from the one experienced with Apollo because Juno has been a personal project and without too many aspirations. Yes, it has gained popularity and is one of the most used applications on visionOS. But this is not a future project or your new master creation.

In fact, he has indicated that both the proposal and the development of Juno have always seen it as a hobby whose main purpose was create something functional within the visionOS environment. Due to this, their position regarding the movement by Google is simple resignation, not fighting against the multinational.

There are not too many details about the reasons why Google has decided to go against Juno. The information indicates that those from Mountain View have referred to problems regarding the iconography, although they have not specified much either. Apple has indicated that Juno does not adhere to YouTube guidelines.

The worst thing about this situation is that Google does not offer a YouTube application on visionOS. Users have been using Juno as their trusted application to access YouTube for months, and although they can access it from the browser, the interface of the Selig application makes it more convenient to access.

All users who have paid for Juno will be able to use it, although it is not certain that its operation will be maintained over time because a YouTube update may block your use. Only time has the answer and if you have purchased Juno, it is advisable not to uninstall it because there will be no way to find it in the visionOS store.
