According to a Pushbullet dev on Reddit:

Hey, sorry just saw this post. We have unpublished our iOS app.

The root issue is that Apple now requires "Sign in with Apple" for any app that offers Google / Facebook sign in. We have no interest in adding yet another sign in option everywhere, which is a lot of work, just to make Apple happy.

Instead, we'd love to just leave our iOS app alone for the time being, however Facebook has gotten angry we haven't updated our Facebook Login SDK on iOS. Thus, they've forced our hand to either go through all the work of updating our app, or instead, simply unpublish.

For those not aware, fully updating our iOS app for the latest versions of Swift, iOS, etc and then adding Sign in with Apple is a huge amount of work. Sadly iOS is our least popular / used platform. It's also the platform we can to the least interesting things. As a result, we've chosen to unpublish it for the time being to focus on the platforms where we can do more interesting things.
