Apple has updated its App Store policies to block clone apps, which are apps that are copied from other apps and have the same or similar functionality. The new policies, which go into effect on June 1, 2023, will require developers to submit a new app review if they make changes to an existing app that could make it a clone.

The new policies are designed to protect users from being tricked into downloading clone apps that may not be safe or reliable. Clone apps can also be used to steal user data or to commit fraud.

Under the new App Store policies, developers will need to provide more information about their apps, including the source code, to Apple for review. Apple will also be able to remove apps from the App Store if they are found to be clones.

Apple’s decision to crack down on clone apps is a welcome move for users who have been frustrated by the proliferation of these apps. The new policies should help to ensure that users can only download safe and reliable apps from the App Store.

What does this mean for users?

Users will now be able to be more confident that the apps they download from the App Store are safe and reliable. Apple’s new policies will help to weed out clone apps, which can be used to steal user data or to commit fraud.

What does this mean for developers?

Developers will need to make sure that their apps are original and do not infringe on the copyright of other apps. They will also need to provide more information about their apps to Apple for review.

What are the next steps?

Apple’s new policies will go into effect on June 1, 2023. Developers who have apps that may be affected by the new policies should review them and make any necessary changes.
