Licensed C64 Emulator Rejected From App Store

Posted by Soulskill on from the insufficient-quantities-of-hip dept.

Miasik.Net writes "A fully licensed Commodore 64 iPhone emulator has been rejected from the App Store. The excuse Apple used is a clause in the SDK agreement which doesn't allow for applications that run executable code. It seems Sega is exempt from that clause, because some of its games on the iPhone are emulators running original ROM code."

    What about arbitrary javascript on web pages? By your logic, a Flash player would be out of the question.

    Yes it would. Don't think for a second that Apple would let you sell your own browser of Flash plug-in. It doesn't mean that you are not allowed to use an existing Flash plugin or webbrowser tough.
