Apple has updated its App Store policies regarding PC emulators. According to the new rules, noticed In MacRumors, emulators can download game distributions on their own.
Previously, this opportunity was only available to emulators of various consoles. Apparently, they decided to change the rules after the App Store released UTM SE, the first PC emulator available in the store.
And here’s another story
MacRumors believes that the updated rules will simplify the process of checking new emulator apps. UTM SE did not make it to the App Store on its first try, but the emulator developers did not say what Apple’s complaints were.
At the same time, Apple updated the rules that applications released in other stores must comply with. For now, such stores are supported only in the European Union; in other regions, only the App Store is available.
The UTM SE emulator allows you to run various versions of Windows, Linux and MacOS under iOS or iPadOS. Formally, the emulator is designed to run retro games, but in fact, you can run anything modern.
