With the recent announcement of a Microsoft takeover of Nokia, it should not come as a surprise that Nokia will be discontinuing support for new Symbian and MeeGo apps from January 1, 2014. Symbian used to be the world’s number one smartphone OS by far. MeeGo was the original planned replacement for Symbian. Though MeeGo gained popularity amon...g Symbian fans, Nokia dropped it for Windows Phone after the current CEO arrived.
From what I gather, both Symbian and MeeGo apps already existing in Nokia Store will still be available for download by users. Also, developers will still continue to get paid when their existing apps are purchased. However, developers will no longer be able to publish new apps or update existing apps in the Store after January 1 2014.
