[MacRumors] Apple Removes Game Boy Emulator iGBA From App Store Due to Spam and Copyright Violations

Did I not read a headline last week that said Apple is going to allow emulators on the App Store now?

Apple did say that. This app was a copied from an open source GBA emulator loaded up with ads and user tracking. I’m guessing that’s the reason they removed it.

You did.

The moment I read that the app uses an existing emulator made by someone else, I knew that wasn’t what Apple meant.

The fact that it was loaded with trackers proves that App Store review is still a fucking joke.
