Developed by a german company called Tobit.Software [1], "chayns" has produced more than 10,000 apps to date [2], all flooding the popular app stores [3].<p>"chayns" turns Facebook pages into mobile apps for Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Blackberry, automatically, trying to make your profession as a developer obsolete.<p>On Android alone, the company uses more than 30 developer accounts to push 10,000 apps per week to Google Play [4].<p>Is this compliant with Google's policies? No [5]. Does Google care? It doesn't seem so.<p>Today, Google updated its policies for developers, but are they credible at all? "chayns" did also violate against the old version of the Content Policy.<p>"chayns", in the meanwhile, is filling entire cinema halls with aspiring new developers that are going to spam your app store as well [6].<p>[1] <http://new.tobit.com/> (German)
