notarize the app for third-party App Stores due to inclusion of just-in-time compilation, which would technically break a guideline that apps must be self-contained. UTM said the emulator does not include any code that violates these rules, but that it will not be fighting Apple on the ...
“The app provides emulator functionality but is not emulating a retro game console specifically. Only emulators of retro game consoles are appropriate per guideline 4.7.” This refers to section 4.7 of theofficial App Store guidelines, which states that “retro game console emulator apps can ...
