Apple has loosened its App Store restrictions to allow game streaming apps, mini-apps and chatbots
Previously, services like Xbox Cloud Streaming and GeForce Now could only be accessed on iOS via a web browser.
Now, developers can submit a single app with the ability to stream all the games offered in their catalogue.
The new features offer improved visibility and,potentially new sections in the App Store
Apple hasn’t provided specific details, but it is likely to involve promoting apps with chatbots and cloud gaming.
Developers can utilise Apple’s payment system for these features, simplifying the subscription to services. They can also use third-party payment solutions, although Apple still takes a share of the profit.
