Apple recently blocked promo codes for Apps rated ages 17 and up but after enough noise from the Blog-o-sphere, the Cupertino based company has finally relented.

The reason for Apple blocking developers from releasing promo codes for Apps rated ages 17 and up was never disclosed but speculated to prevent users from bypassing the iPhone’s built in age restriction. However, it hindered developers from promoting their Apps since they could not offer discounts or give them away to attract interest. Luckily, Apple has enabled promo codes for these Apps which ranges from Twitter and IM clients to Apps with built in web browsers.
