9to5Mac cited Michael Tsai as the source that first highlighted the issue. The source material identifies AppGrid as a Mac app and says Apple blocked its App Store updates, but it does not provide further details in the excerpt about the review guideline, version number, or developer response.

The case involves a macOS app that appears to replace a removed Apple feature. In the broader Apple software ecosystem, App Store review decisions can affect whether Mac developers can maintain or update apps that replicate system features after Apple changes or removes them.
