It should go without saying that storing “controversial“ material online is risky. Dunno why someone wants to put their ROMs on icloud drive When Apple loves to copyright someone out of business.Gameboy ROMs on iCloud Drive may lead to copyright problems. Hope Apple will not lock AppleIDs of users because of this.
There are reports of users losing their complete access to their AppleID because of a lock, may this be a reason?
This has been pulled from the App Store in the last hour or so…
Yeah it has been pulled worldwide I guess. I got it downloaded before it was pulled tho.Not available in the U.S. App Store.
Apple’s privacy stance has been a stunt all along.Yeah, so much for being the "privacy company". 🤣
The question is why it got removed. Is it because of mother Nintendo or a legal issue or something else? Will we see any other emulator ?
"Slipped past Apple's gatekeeping"??? This wasn't an emulator hidden behind a files-type app (which has been done before), this was a blatant emulator app. It will be interesting to hear Apple explain why it was pulled.Probably because it was never meant to be approved in the first place and it slipped past apple's gatekeeping.

Apple can’t even see your ROMs if you simply enable “Advanced Data Protection for iCloud”. It end to end encrypts everything you put on iCloud Drive. Apple doesn’t have the encryption keys. Even if they were lying, they ain’t about to get sued for millions or billions in a class action lawsuit over some nerd’s ROMs.It should go without saying that storing “controversial“ material online is risky.

The licence for Delta explicitly states that it is not to be distributed via the App Store without prior approval, so you might be right. That condition was added a little over a week ago.Could have been pulled because the dev was using the Delta dev’s code without authorization…
There is a new story up on The Verge. Sounds like that is what happened. The developer was not happy with Apple for approving it.The licence for Delta explicitly states that it is not to be distributed via the App Store without prior approval, so you might be right.

I have the app installed, should I remove it just incase?
In case if there’s anything bad going on behind the scenes?In case of what?
Tons of ads and tracking? That would get an instant uninstall from meIn case if there’s anything bad going on behind the scenes?
I'm hoping this wasn't yanked by apple because it was never supposed to be approved. Hoping Riley releases his Delta app to the appstore. Happy to at least have this in the meantime.The licence for Delta explicitly states that it is not to be distributed via the App Store without prior approval, so you might be right.

Cool for people who want to play the GB/GBC/GBA games on the go without the original hardware. Also regarding the ROMS, if you rip ROMS from the games you physically own it's perfectly legal to play them. Of course Nintendo would disagree but they're not the law and frankly should be sued for some of the stuff they've done to the retro gaming community.
If you don’t intent to run GBA games on your iPhone iPad anytime soon then sure.In case if there’s anything bad going on behind the scenes?
