Microsoft and Facebook have recently been criticizing Apple's App Store policies.
Microsoft has been trying to make "168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Project xCloud" available to more people by trying to get it to be downloadable on Apple's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:App Store. Unfortunately for Microsoft, their recent attempt at putting it in the App Store has proven difficult due to the strict policies that Apple has put for 3rd party developers. Microsoft stated they currently would not be able to launch their game streaming app on iOS due to Apple's restrictions on gaming apps.
Similar to Microsoft, Facebook also has attempted to get its gaming apps on the App Store too, and has criticized the strict policies of the App Store. Unlike Microsoft, Facebook was able to successfully add their gaming app to the App Store. However, to comply with the App Store policies, Facebook had to remove all gameplay functionality of the app in order to get approval from Apple, making the app practically pointless. Facebook has🌟 requested a reevaluation of the app due to🐈 the new guidelines announced around June but hasn't received a response.
In response to the recent App Store controversy, Apple stated to , that the cloud-based services Microsoft and Facebook are offering violates their guidelines. The stated primary reason Apple mostly rejects these cloud-based services is that they offer access to other apps that Apple can't review individually. Despite the statements on the App Store guidelines, Microsoft is still determined to provide the xCloud experience to iOS users and is currently trying to figure-out workaround with Apple.
Even though Apple has released a reason as to why Microsoft and Facebook's apps were not approved, a good chunk of people believes that Apple is trying to bottleneck the mobile gaming experience on its platform so that the only option people have would be it's Apple Arcade subscription service. This mindset comes in-mind due to the recent congress question of several of the U.S's largest tech companies in regards to how powerful they are, which includes Apple.
In my opinion, I believe that Apple should allow for these gaming experiences to be available on iOS. It encourages healthy competition and removes some of the negative press on their practices. If Project xCloud and Facebook's gaming app isn't available to be played on iOS devices, it could deter the mobile gaming crowd from purchasing an iOS device. It would be beneficial for Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple to come to an agreement so that users can experience the optimal 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:mobile gaming experience.
