According to The Verge, Apple told impacted developers in an email titled "App Improvement Notice" that it will delete applications from the App Store if they haven't been "updated in a considerable length of time" and gave them only 30 days to repair them.

"You can keep this app available for new users to discover and download from the App Store by submitting an update for review in 30 days," the tech giant noted in the email.
