VLC for iOS will be back in the App Store shortly; Available for users who had installed it previously
Towards the end of last year, the VideoLAN team revealed that VLC for iOS was all set to return to the App Store as soon as it was approved by Apple. More than 1.5 months later, it looks like the VLC team is finally ready to release their app on the App Store once again.
While the app listing is yet to go live, many users on Reddit are reporting that they were able to update their existing installation of VLC to the latest version (2.4.1) earlier today.
In case you had installed VLC on your iOS device before it disappeared in the September 2014, you can head over to the Purchased section of the iOS App Store to download the app right away. If not, you will have to wait until the app’s listing goes live on the App Store.
VLC for iOS was first launched in late 2010 and was pulled from the App Store in early 2011 because of licensing issues. The app returned to the App Store more than two years later in 2013, but disappeared once again in September 2014 for unknown reasons.
The latest version (2.4.1) of VLC for iOS is not going to come with any significant new features except for folders support and optimizations for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
