It came up App Store The first emulator admitted by Apple after the recent developments at European level: it is about iGBAtherefore a Game Boy Advance emulator which however, apparently, hides a secret.
In fact, it seems that the software, created by the Italian Mattia La Spina, is actually a copy of GBA4iOSan emulator created about ten years ago by Riley Testut, who said he was frustrated not so much by the rip-off but rather by Apple's timing.
“Apparently Apple has approved a copy of GBA4iOS, the predecessor to Delta that I created in high school, for release on the App Store,” Testut wrote. “I didn't give anyone permission to do it, yet now it's at the top of the charts (despite is full of advertising and tracking).”
“To be clear, I'm not angry with the developer but with the fact that Apple took the time to change the App Store rules to allow emulators and then ultimately approved a copy of my application, even though I was ready to launch it with Delta as of March 5th.”

A precarious balance
As mentioned, Apple has agreed to the publication of emulators on the App Store on the condition, however, that the authors take responsibility with respect to incorrect use of the same; which, as we know, is really easy to happen.
We will certainly see the platform fill up with software of this kind in the next few days, and it seems that there is already another one available in addition to iGBA, namely Emu64 XL, a Commodore 64 emulator.
