史上第一款合法登陆 App Store 的模拟器正式登场，
基本上是一款 GBA4iOS 加上一堆广告跟资料追踪的 App，

App 使用方法也跟 GBA4iOS 依样，
档案操作可在苹果半残档案 App 里面可以进行。

但不像 Delta 那么全面支援更多的机种，
如果已经能装 Delta 的人就没有必要使用这款 App，
期待原版作者也可以顺利登上 AppStore，
没想到这款 App 已经冲上排行榜前几名了....作者觉得傻眼

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
显然，苹果在 App Store 中批准了 GBA4iOS 的山寨版——它是我在高中时制作的
Delta 的前身。 我没有给任何人这样做的许可，但它现在坐在图表的顶部（尽管充满了
广告和跟踪）我在过去的一个月里咬了一口舌头……但这真的让我很沮丧。 很高兴应用
程式审核的存在可以保护消费者免受此类诈骗和敲诈
无论如何，再次感谢欧盟让人见证 AppStore 被撬开的一刻

Apple Removes Game Boy Emulator iGBA From App Store Due to Spam and Copyright
Violations
https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/15/apple-removes-igba-from-app-store/
Apple today said it removed Game Boy emulator iGBA from the App Store for
violating the company's App Review Guidelines related to spam (section 4.3)
and copyright (section 5.2), but it did not provide any specific details.
苹果今天表示，它从App Store 中删除了Game Boy 模拟器iGBA，因为它违反了该公司与
垃圾邮件（第4.3 节）和版权（第5.2 节）相关的应用程式审查指南，但没有提供任何具
体细节。
5.2 Intellectual Property
Make sure your app only includes content that you created or that you have a
license to use. Your app may be removed if you’ve stepped over the line and
used content without permission. Of course, this also means someone else’s
app may be removed if they’ve “borrowed” from your work.
5.2 智慧财产权
确保您的应用程式仅包含您建立的或您拥有使用许可的内容。 如果您越界且未经许可
使用内容，您的应用程式可能会被删除。 当然，这也意味着如果其他人“借用”了您的
作品，他们的应用程式可能会被删除。
The verge:
The first Apple-approved emulator for the iPhone has arrived... and been
pulled
https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/14/24129981/game-boy-emulator-igba-iphone-ios-app-store-gba4ios-testut-knock-off
In an email to The Verge, developer Riley Testut said the app is an
unauthorized clone of GBA4iOS, the open-source emulator he created for iOS
over a decade ago (and recently resurrected for the Vision Pro). He said his
app uses the GNU GPLv2 license. A Mastodon user found that iGBA does not
reference the license, which may violate its terms.
开发者 Riley Testut 在发给 The Verge 的电子邮件中表示，该应用程式是 GBA4iOS 的
未经授权的克隆，GBA4iOS 是他十多年前为 iOS 创建的开源模拟器（最近又为 Vision
Pro 复活）。 他说他的应用程式使用 GNU GPLv2 许可证。 Mastodon 用户发现 iGBA
没有引用该许可证，这可能违反其条款。
Testut also provided this statement to The Verge:
I’ve been working with Apple to release AltStore as an alternative app
marketplace for over a month now, and I’m disappointed to see that they’ve
approved a knock-off of AltStore’s flagship app Delta in that time. However,
we’re still planning to launch Delta ASAP, and we’ll have more to share on
that very soon.
Testut 也向 The Verge 提供了这样的说法：
我与 Apple 合作发布 AltStore 作为替代应用程式市场已有一个多月了，我很失望
地看到他们当时批准了 AltStore 旗舰应用程式 Delta 的山寨版。 不过，我们仍计划
尽快推出 Delta，我们很快就会分享更多相关资讯。
When reached for comment, La Spina did not explicitly confirm using Testut’s
code, but told The Verge they “did not think the app would have so much
repercussion, I am really sorry,” and added that they have reached out to
Testut via email.
当联系到La Spina 征求意见时，La Spina 没有明确确认使用Testut 的代码，但告诉
The Verge，他们“没想到该应用程序会产生如此大的影响，我真的很抱歉”，并补充说
他们已经透过电子邮件联系了Testut。

Thanks for all the kind words y’all Looks like the app has been removed
now, so hopefully that’s the end of this excitement
However, just want to reiterate that I am *not* mad at the developer.
Everyone makes mistakes, and
they even reached out to me via email to personally apologize for the mess.
So no hard feelings there
感谢大家的善意之言 看起来该应用程式现在已被删除，所以希望这就是这种兴奋的
结束但是，只是想重申我*不*对开发人员生气。 每个人都会犯错，他们甚至透过电子邮
件联系我，亲自为造成的混乱道歉。 所以没有什么难受的感觉
My frustration stemmed entirely from the fact we’ve been ready to launch
Delta since last month. This whole situation could’ve been avoided if Apple
hadn’t delayed approving us until after changing their rules to allow
emulatorsTo Apple’s credit though, once they were aware of the issue they
did take it seriously. So I really don’t believe this was malicious at all
— just an unfortunate situation for everyone involved
我的沮丧完全源自于我们自上个月以来就准备推出Delta。 如果苹果公司没有推迟批
准我们，直到改变他们的规则以允许模拟器之后，这整个情况本来是可以避免的。 所以
我真的不相信这是恶意的——这对所有参与者来说只是一个不幸的情况
