Apple controls and approve Appstore apps. If it were in the app Apple is clearly also a party since they are paid to approve it. It's only s matter of time before the EU will smack Apple down.

I’m not sure how (1) follows (2). How is Apple “clearly” also a party when they aren’t even given the source code to the app?

  Apple insists on having editorial and technical control over apps, but also they take no responsibility for their decisions and their technology that allowed bad apps. It's their platform, their APIs, their sandbox, their store, their verification, their rules, but when something goes wrong, it's someone else's fault. That doesn't seem fair (even though it's legal currently).

    So, like one of those parking lots that do not take responsibility for thefts in their premises?

    By that logic, Governments who enact and enforce laws should be held responsible for all crime.

    >It's their platform, their APIs, their sandbox, their store, their verification, their rules, but when something goes wrong, it's someone else's fault. Does this also mean Microsoft is at fault when someone writes malware that exploits Chrome on Windows? After all it’s the Windows platform and API. Should I also blame RMS when someone writes malware in C? After all they might have used the libc.

Say someone put malware on Ubuntu or Debian official repos, the developers find it and silently cleanup the mess but keep it quiet because of PR. Who should notify the victims> the package maintainer, the individuals responsible for the malware, the distribution as a whole? If the Microsoft Store or Steam distributed malware, even if they I expect from them to aknowledge what happened, plans to improve the situation and the victims should recieve an email or notification in the store with what happened,and what should they do. I am not asking for Apple to get the blame for the malware , just to acknowledge that the Store is not 100% safe and this can happen (bad for PR) and let the victims know.
