The early April changes to the App Store Review Guidelines reversed a rule that practically banned emulators from the App Store. After the rule was removed, it was expected that there would be a sudden rush of emulators being submitted to Apple for inclusion in the digital storefront.
Emulators for the iPhone have existed for a while, but outside of the App Store as a side-loadable app. With Apple’s changes, some of the projects are making the transition, and potentially gaining more traction from a larger user base in the process.
