Not just dropped APIs. 
It starts already with Apple deciding if the functionality of an iOS App is 
worth to be approved for the Appstore or not. 
I had created 3 apps for a customer which were not accepted by Apple by the 
"lack" of functionality. At least that was the reason they told us, although we 
could proof that there were other similar apps in the store with less 
functionality. Some of them were even approved later than our apps were 
submitted.
The good thing was that i get paid anyway because the complete design and 
functionality was described by the customer in specification sheets. So i was 
not responsible for the rejection of the apps.

It´s always a risk to develop iOS apps. You´ll never know if they get accepted 
or not. 
An other risk is that every new iOS release might break your existing app in 
the iOS app store.

That´s a good idea. So the developer is not responsible if there are changes to 
the 3rd party API  and thereby the functionality of the program is disturbed or 
impaired.
