Better go uninstall Chrome and anything else that has started doing silent auto-updates in the background too then, because that has the potential for spontaneous breakage as well.<p>I also think you&#x27;re perhaps extrapolating a bit too much from this incident. Did the MAS breakage really truly suck? Yes, it did. Was it really embarrassing for Apple? It probably was. Did it cause grief for a lot of people? Yes. But the big question is, does this mean we can&#x27;t trust the MAS to not accidentally break all our apps again? No, I don&#x27;t think this incident means that at all. I can&#x27;t think of any other reason for all my MAS-installed apps to suddenly break besides an expired certificate, and Apple&#x27;s now renewed the certificate. Worst-case, maybe it&#x27;ll break again in a few years when that certificate expires, but I bet they&#x27;re putting in place some procedure or mechanism to guarantee that this won&#x27;t happen again.<p>All that said, there are certainly plenty of legitimate ongoing grievances with the MAS. I won&#x27;t dispute any of that. But vowing to never again acquire any app from the MAS over this one incident seems somewhat absurd.
