It’s been three months since Apple revised its App Review Guidelines to enable emulators into the App Store. While there have been a lot of emulators introduced to the store, another set of rule changes could allow even more to work on the iPhone and iPad.
Advised through Apple’s Developer site, the August 1 update affects elements within the 4.7 section of the App Review Guidelines, which deals with streaming games and game emulators, among others.
