Apple Blocks PC Emulators from iOS App Store
Despite allowing retro game console emulators, Apple rejects apps that emulate entire PC operating systems.
- Developers of iDOS and UTM faced rejection due to Apple's App Review Guidelines.
- Apple's rules permit retro game console emulators but exclude PC operating system emulators.
- The decision affects apps attempting to bring vintage DOS and Windows games to iOS.
- Apple's inconsistent application of guidelines has frustrated developers.
- Third-party app stores in the EU also uphold Apple's restrictions on PC emulators.
