Quick Glance: Apple Removes iGBA Emulator from App Store for Policy Violations
- Apple has officially announced the removal of the iGBA Game Boy emulator from the App Store due to violations of the store's policies related to spam and copyright issues, with no specific details provided.
- The developers of iGBA created a similar version of the popular open-source GBA4iOS emulator by Riley Testut. Despite iGBA reaching the top of the App Store charts after its release this weekend, complaints arose regarding the app being a clear imitation overloaded with advertisements.
- The reasons behind Apple's decision to remove iGBA are still unclear. Clarification on the app removal process has been requested from Apple, and this article will be updated once additional information is received.
- An intriguing feature of iGBA was the capability for iPhone users to download any Game Boy game ROMs from the internet. However, the app's removal raises uncertainty about Apple's stance on allowing ROM-loading apps in the App Store. Nintendo has explicitly stated on its US customer support website that downloading pirated copies of its games is illegal, but whether Nintendo has reached out to Apple on this matter remains ambiguous.
