Apple’s App Store Crackdown Hits Vibe-Coding Apps Hard

As AI tools boom, could Apple’s strict app rules become a thing of the past?

Apple has been stringent in removing or pausing updates for apps like Anything, Replit and Vibecode, citing developer agreement breaches. Co-founder Dhruv Amin explains how his company's mobile app builder faced removals twice despite initial reinstatements.


The core issue? Apple deems Anything's vibe-coding features too risky, fearing users might download malicious code or bypass security checks. Amin and team now plan a desktop version for coding convenience.


With AI revolutionising app development, this saga hints at potential changes to App Store policies. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney laments such restrictions, suggesting a shift towards more permissive guidelines may be coming.


In the meantime, Apple's stringent stance could push developers to explore alternative platforms like Google’s Android or even self-publishing tools. The future of app building seems increasingly complex and possibly less regulated.
