On July 31, CCTV criticized the Apple App Store management problem from the Internet's official lottery, vest, illegal APP and other issues. The Xinhua News Agency also criticized Apple. The dereliction of duty on the audit, ignoring the iMessage vulnerability caused users to be bothered by the inclusion of spam, pornography, loans and other spam information.
So Apple began to rectify the gambling application, and this action is not only to ban new apps online, but also to remove some apps involving gambling.
However, Apple's new rules are only for individual developers, and licensed enterprise developers are not restricted. Apple claims that 'only registered business entities can submit gambling applications to the App Store on the App Store.' Similar to QQ Mahjong, games like Landlords can still be downloaded and used normally.
But some developers also complain that Apple's off-the-shelf behavior has accidentally injured their app. For example, a developer said that his app is news software, and has nothing to do with gambling or fraud, another app called WatchPlay. Was taken off the shelf
Apple provided the affected developers with the following reasons to explain that their app was removed from the app store: 'Unlimited access.'
When developers submit their apps to the App Store, a section called 'rating' asks them to rate the content of the app based on the chart and determine how often the content appears. When users can access any website through the app, The content tag will be considered as 'unrestricted network access', which will automatically give the app a score of 17 or older.
Because there are some pornographic adult websites abroad, this gives App users the potential to evade parental control.
But this explanation seems to be not completely related to the reasons for the removal. We look forward to the follow-up explanation from Apple.
