According to the report, Apple earlier this month had warned developers in China that several paid gaming apps were at the risk of removal from the App Store. Some developers, however, managed to bypass the regulation through a loophole in Apple’s App Store policies, the report added. Earlier this year, Apple removed more than 4,500 mobile games from the Chinese App Store due to the licensing regulations in China. It is worth noting that Google had too removed apps linked with Hong Kong protests. Just this month, China removed as many as 105 applications, including US travel firm TripAdvisor Inc from app stores.
