Masalah di Balik Penarikkan BBM for iOS Ternyata Sangat Serius

BlackBerry menjelaskan lebih lanjut perihal penarikkan BBM for iOS dari App Store. Mereka juga mengatakan bahwa BBM for iOS, tidak akan hadir kembali dalam minggu ini.

Disampaikan oleh Andrew Bocking, Head of BBM, akses awal oleh para pengguna Android terhadap BBM benar-benar telah mengganggu sistem BlackBerry. Ia menegaskan jika pihaknya sudah berupaya buat menanggulangi masalah tersebut, tapi karena tidak sedikit yang mengakses BBM for Android tidak resmi – 1,1 juta orang – ini, tidak ada cara lain selain menariknya dan menunda kehadirannya di iOS maupun Android.

Last week, an unreleased, older version of the BBM for Android app was posted on numerous file sharing sites. We were aware of an issue with this unreleased version of the BBM for Android app. This older version resulted in volumes of data traffic orders of magnitude higher than normal for each active user and impacted the system in abnormal ways. The version we were planning to release on Saturday addressed these issues, however we could not block users of the unreleased version if we went ahead with the launch.

We attempted to address the problems caused by the unreleased version throughout the day on Saturday, but as active users of the unreleased app neared a million – and accelerated – it became clear that the only way to address the issue was to pause the rollout for both Android and iPhone.

While this may sound like a simple task – it’s not. This will take some time and I do not anticipate launching this week.
