In the wake of this development, the quick response came from what is believed to be a MetaMask response lead project manager, Taylor Monahan, confirming that the team was already working on resolving the situation.
Official Reply from MetaMask
MetaMask eventually replaced its initial statement with an official reply from their account, confirming their quick action team.
Current Status
At the time of writing, MetaMask has been returned to the App Store, although there are still reports of it being unavailable in some areas outside the United States. Searching for MetaMask on the App Store now returns results for the Trust portfolio.
