We sure hope this won't upset European regulators given how great their relationship is with Apple right now
A pair of developers have come away from encounters with Apple's latest rules regarding video game emulators in its App Store and concluded the iGiant is not okay with software that emulates a whole operating system.
" decided that iDOS is not a retro game console, so the new rule is not applicable," Li wrote in an update to an earlier blog post last week."They suggested I make changes and resubmit for review, but when I asked what changes I should make to be compliant, they had no idea, nor when I asked what a retro game console is."
" reasoning is that rule 4.7 … does NOT apply to UTM SE" because"'PC is not a console'," the developer wrote in aon X."We will adhere by Apple's content and policy decision because we believe UTM SE is a subpar experience and isn't worth fighting for."How Europe can force Apple to support competitionRegardless, it seems possible Apple isn't being entirely consistent with its reasoning for the OS emulator ban.
