"Apple-Approved Gaming Emulator Pulled from App Store Due to Violations"

The first gaming emulators have made their way onto the iOS App Store, with Emu64 XL for the Commodore 64 and iGBA for the Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color being the first to appear. While iGBA has been pulled from the store, Emu64 XL is still available. Apple's decision to allow emulators on the App Store comes with caveats, as the apps must comply with all applicable laws and are responsible for the software loaded inside them. The legality of using emulators remains a gray area, and the success of these emulators may depend on the attitude of the original device manufacturers.

"Apple Embraces Game Streaming: Xbox Game Pass and More Now Available on App Store"

Apple has reversed its stance on game streaming apps, potentially allowing for an Xbox Game Pass app on the iOS App Store. The change means developers can now submit a single app with the capability to stream all games offered in their catalogue, with the onus on the app developer to ensure the content added is appropriate. This move opens the door for Microsoft's cloud streaming service to be available on iPhone and iPad, after being blocked by Apple in August 2020.

"Apple Embraces Cloud Gaming Apps in App Store Expansion"

After a long-standing ban, Apple has finally allowed cloud gaming apps on the iOS App Store, following new EU rules. Cloud gaming services like Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass and Nvidia's GeForce Now were previously barred from offering native iOS apps due to Apple's restrictions on offering more than one game in their store listings. Now, developers can submit a single app with the capability to stream all games offered in their catalog, but must adhere to Apple's policy around gaming apps. While Microsoft, Nvidia, and other providers have yet to announce plans for native iOS apps, Google's Stadia, which shut down a year ago, won't have the chance to run through a native app on iOS.
