The tech giant, Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) reported a delay in its operations. Wall Street Journal reported that the company point out a bug that would lead to further delay in the HealthKit – the platform that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) designed for data sharing. The market is already buzzing with this latest development.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was one to report back regarding its position. It told Wall Street that this technical mishap would indeed be the cause of the delay in the release of the platform. Apps may be used by the end of the current month. The company made sure not to disclose any information regarding the defect and what triggered it. They were also careful not to mention a launch date for the event.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is working day and night to fix this problem as stated by the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) spokesman. It was reported that the company found a bug which was why HealthKit wasn’t available on iOS 8. The company assured that it was working on fixing this issue by a software update that will appear in the system. Other measures will also be taken by the company’s many developers through consistent examination and development of the system. With the halt in the system, this may give advantage to rival businesses to use the time to come up with their own alternatives.

It was reported that Carrot Fit – a fitness app – was not as per the requirements of the plan. Brian Mueller, the developer stated in one of its tweets that he was waiting for the day to be over. Signs of frustration regarding the app are visible in the developers’ statement on Wednesday. The app was resubmitted to the parent company where developers will work on fixing the problem for another launch somewhere in the future.

The app is different than what the Health app of iOS 8 is offering which includes a dashboard for users that provides data related to fitness and health – this app was up and about till Wednesday. The tech giant sure has some mishaps to deal with. The company’s uncertainty about the cause of the bug and the amount of time it will take may be a reason why no launch date was stated.

With the company trying to move into the fitness and health area, this unforeseen bug may be a major drawback and may hamper the company’s success. However, with the company’s prevailing iWatch, health tracking has become much easier. Thus the brand has made some sort of entry into the market.

With Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) delay in the HealthKit app, the duo that was to be launched together – the app along with iOS 8 – has now lost its appeal as stated by Cupertino Company. The release of Apple’s Watch which is due next year will play its role to minimize the damage caused by the delay. Let’s see how the company ends up debugging the system thus making its way into the market.
