Although applications of this type were accepted in the App Store, the Apple company started contacting some developers asking them to remove the widgets created for them, otherwise the applications will be removed from the store. The strange part is that Apple presented this type of widgets in the conference for the presentation of iOS 8, as you can see above, and the refusal to allow their integration in applications is as strange as can be at the moment.
