iPhone ‘iGBA’ emulator removed from App Store, but we aren’t sure why

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/igba-removed.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>Over the weekend, the first handheld console game emulator hit the App Store (https://9to5mac.com/2024/04/14/iphone-game-boy-emulator-app-store/), following a relaxation in App Store Review Guidelines the week prior.</p>



<p>Fast forward 24 hours and the app is gone, pulled from the App Store. However, we aren’t sure why. It might be that ROM-loading emulators are actually not allowed, and this one slipped through. Or, it may be that iGBA was simply a clone of the open-source project GBA4iOS (https://bitbucket.org/rileytestut/gba4ios/src/master/), and was pushed to the store without permission or appropriate licensing.</p>
