App Store retro game emulators by Apple
Apple has introduced new language to its developer standards that permits game emulators to be used on the App Store, in addition to allowing music streaming apps to link to external websites.
The revised policies, which were originally observed by 9to5Mac, state that applications that emulate vintage game consoles are allowed and may even provide downloadable titles. It is also said that Apple sent developers an email confirming that they are allowed to make and sell emulators on its marketplace.
Before this upgrade, emulator software was prohibited from the App Store, but developers managed to get them into the hands of iOS consumers.
Users typically have to jailbreak their devices, use sideloading software, or use unofficial rival app stores in order to install them. This regulation update might make it unnecessary for consumers to go to such efforts and increase the number of Android emulators available on iOS.
However, Apple cautions developers that they "are responsible for all such software offered in [their] app, including ensuring that such software complies with these Guidelines and all applicable laws." It is evident that the App Store's acceptance of emulators does not imply that unlicensed games are also accepted.
Fans of particular consoles will just have to hope that their businesses are preparing to release official emulators for iOS, as any app that offers titles for download that the creator doesn't own the rights to is strictly prohibited.
The EU's Digital Markets Act law, which targets the anti-competitive actions of large digital companies, appears to be the driving force behind the most recent amendments to Apple's developer guidelines. However, the new restriction regarding emulators is applicable to all developers globally.
