Bug 293536 – Remove quirk for iOS app iBooks Storytime

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: New Bugs

[Ahmad Saleem]

Hi Team,

Since Anne is clearing out LoA and other quirks, I am just raising that we can remove this as well.

iBooks Storytime app is no longer available and all purchases are available via Books app.

So we can remove this quirk without any issue.

WebKit Source - https://searchfox.org/wubkat/search?q=isIBooksStorytime&path=&case=false&regexp=false

isIBooksStorytime();

Thanks!

This case is subtly different as there's no linked-on-or-after check. Do we know what the experience is like for end users that still have this app? And will that experience degrade if we remove this code path?

We don't have this app on AppStore and it seems to be gone in 2021 (at least as per reddit threads).

All app content is now accessible from Apple Books app, so I think it is safe to remove.

Even if the app isn't on the App Store, that doesn't mean it's removed from people's devices.
