Apple has updated its developer guidelines to allow retro gaming console emulator apps on the App Store, permitting them to offer downloadable games as well. This change eliminates the need for users to resort to jailbreaking or unsanctioned app stores to access emulators on iOS. However, developers are responsible for ensuring that the software offered in their apps complies with guidelines and laws, including not offering pirated games. The update applies to all developers worldwide and may be a response to the EU's Digital Markets Act regulation targeting anti-competitive practices by big tech companies.
