‘iDOS 2’ emulator for iOS to be removed from the App Store - 9to5Mac
Following the app’s repercussion, Apple informed developer Chaoji Li that he should update the app to remove the ability to let users import packages and image files from external sources, otherwise the app would be removed from the App Store.As this would break the app’s functionality for those who paid for it, Li has decided that he will remove iDOS 2 as requested by Apple.
Still, Apple says that iDOS 2 violates guideline 2.5.2, which prohibits apps from installing or running external code on iOS.
The company even mentions that some apps with educational purposes can run code under limited circumstances, but that this was not the case for iDOS 2.Please note that while educational apps designed to teach, develop, or allow students to test executable code may, in limited circumstances, download code, such code may not be used for other purposes and such apps must make the source code completely viewable and editable by the user.However, the developer warns that Apple might remove it completely from the store in the future, which would make it unavailable even to those who had it in their purchase history
