Apple pulls Wi-Fi hotspot detecting apps

Apple again wields their mighty scissors at the App Store by pulling the entire bunch of Wi-Fi hotspot detecting programs, and has left developers of the removed applications clueless apart from the fact that they were “using private frameworks”. This ban is applied to apps which scan for networks only, and not those which enable the user to look for nearby hotspots based on their GPS location and a database. Is the App Store getting more and more rigid these days?
