Apple blocks PC emulator in iOS App Store and third-party app stores


App Review has rejected a submission from the developers of UTM, a generic PC system emulator for iPhone and iPad....

The open source app was submitted to the store, given the recent rule change that allows retro game console emulators, like Delta or Folium. It’s therefore unclear if the Apple reviewers for UTM were incorrect in asserting the application was not suitable for distribution by third-party app stores in the EU. UTM for iOS will continue to be available using older ‘grey market’ sideloading methods for open source software, such as compiling and installing the app manually via Xcode.
