Yet the developers can clearly add secret features and sneak them past the review as it's been trivially demonstrated by Epic.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoHow do you know it was a trivial demonstration? As far as I've seen the details of how Epic did it aren't known.
- username90 6y agoThey can display links depending on response from servers, a pretty basic functionality required for many apps. So "hacking" the appstore is as simple as updating their backend with a "purchase here, 25% cheaper" link to their own webbpage.
- zepto 6y agoSure, it’s mathematically impossible to guarantee the behavior of an app in advance. That’s why Apple needs to be able to remove or disable apps that pass review through intentional deception. Edit: for that matter they need to be able to remove apps that have unintended bad consequences too, at least until developers have a chance to fix them. Like they did with Zoom on the Mac.
