So apparently Apple approved a knock-off of GBA4iOS — the predecessor to @delta I made in high school — in the App Store. I did not give anyone permission to do this, yet it’s now sitting at the top of the charts (despite being filled with ads + tracking)

I’ve bit my tongue a bunch in the past month…but this really frustrates me. So glad App Review exists to protect consumers from scams and rip-offs like this 🙄

To be clear, I’m not pissed at the developer.

I’m pissed that Apple took the time to change the App Store rules to allow emulators, and then approved a knock-off of my own app — even though I’ve been ready to launch @altstore with Delta *since March 5*

@rileytestut @altstore

Why are you surprised? This is standard App Store behavior. Never gonna stop, either 🤡

Also, do you have plans to launch Delta in the US? ☹️

@objc @rileytestut @altstore Apple only allows alternative app stores in the EU, even if he wanted, he can't launch it in the US.

@askareth @objc @rileytestut @altstore They weren’t asking that though. They were asking why not submit Delta to the AppStore. If the ‘developer’ of iGBA was able to with the new rules.

@askareth @rileytestut @altstore I said Delta not AltStore
