Apple Removes Unauthorized Game Boy Emulator from App Store

The removal follows a breach of App Store guidelines concerning spam and copyright, despite recent rule changes allowing emulators.

  • Apple recently allowed game emulators on the App Store, aligning with EU's Digital Markets Act.
  • The iGBA emulator was removed for being an ad-filled clone of the GBA4iOS project, violating spam and copyright rules.
  • Developer Riley Testut, creator of GBA4iOS, criticized Apple for approving a knock-off of his app.
  • The controversy highlights the challenges in enforcing App Store guidelines amid new regulations.
  • Observers are watching closely to see how Apple will handle future emulator submissions.
