VideoLAN @videolan App Stores were a mistake. Currently, we cannot update VLC on Windows Store, and we cannot update VLC on Android Play Store, without reducing security or dropping a lot of users... For now, iOS App Store still allows us to ship for iOS9, but until when?

So, uh, why not? The link doesn't answer that.

It’s a frustrated tweet not a hard hitting piece of journalism. Why is everyone here scrutinizing this so much? Do people hate VLC now or something?

Huh?

We're just curious behind the causation for the tweet. Why won't Apple and Microsoft allow them to update? Is it DRM? Security? Fear?

My guess is that their update won’t be approved unless they drop support for old OS versions
