"Much like Facebook’s research app, Google’s software — called Screenwise Meter — had been designed and distributed to consumers under an enterprise developer certificate that restricts the user base to employees. By making the apps available to the wider public, the tech companies ran afoul of Apple’s terms. Google has disabled Screenwise Meter on iOS devices and apologized in a statement to TechCrunch Wednesday.

“We designed our Enterprise Developer Program solely for the internal distribution of apps within an organization," Apple said after TechCrunch reported on Facebook’s Research VPN app."
