Apple has recently reinforced its developer guidelines, explicitly prohibiting the listing of two specific categories of apps. The first category comprises apps that leverage AI technology to create offensive content. The second includes apps that initially pass the review process under false pretenses and subsequently transform into striptease apps or prominently showcase related features. Apple's updated terms mandate developers to implement robust content prevention mechanisms. Apps that host user-generated content are required to filter out any violation (offensive) materials, provide clear reporting channels, and empower users to block accounts that breach the rules.

Furthermore, Apple strictly forbids apps from containing hidden or undisclosed functionalities. If an app introduces new features that were not present in the reviewed version, it will face removal from the App Store. In addition to these measures, Apple has revised its legal terms to underscore its prohibition of apps associated with human trafficking and child exploitation.

Last year, Apple revealed that its rigorous review process thwarted the launch of over 150,000 apps and resulted in the banning of 193,000 developer accounts due to fraudulent activities and violations. Prior to this, the city of San Francisco in the United States had demanded that Apple and Google remove striptease apps from their respective app stores, accusing the tech giants of profiting from platform commissions. Another report highlighted the presence of multiple striptease apps in the app stores of these two companies, with some even being erroneously labeled as suitable for minors.
