Apple updated its developer guidelines over the weekend, adding clearer language against apps that use AI to generate offensive content and against apps that disguise themselves as ordinary products to pass App Store review before later surfacing "undressing" features. In a blog post, Apple said apps with hidden or undocumented functionality are not allowed on the App Store. That includes apps that misrepresent their purpose during review and reveal harmful features only after approval, which the company described as a common "bait-and-switch" tactic. Apple also shared enforcement figures from its review process, saying it stopped more than 150,000 apps from reaching users last year and removed 193,000 developer accounts over fraud and abuse. The update was reported by TechCrunch and summarized by Techub.
