Anonymous formclose (x)App Store Gifting Returns to iOS DevicesFriday December 14, 2012 8:17 am PST by Eric SlivkaWith the launch of iOS 6, users lost the ability to gift apps to others directly from the App Store, with users required to turn to the desktop version of iTunes if they wished to send an app gift. But as noted by iFun [Google translation], Apple has now quietly updated the share button in the iOS 6 App Store to include the option to gift paid apps.


Not only are users once again able to gift apps, but they can now schedule delivery of their gifts, up to 90 days in the future.
