Removing the integration to conform with Apple's request would be a 'betrayal' to paying customers, Li says. 'Please note that while educational apps designed to teach, develop, or allow students to test executable code may, in limited circumstances, download code, such code may not be used for other purposes and such apps must make the source code completely viewable and editable by the user.'Īccording to Li, iDOS 2 uses iTunes File Sharing to run custom games or programs, a feature that is now integral to the app's identity. Executing code can introduce or changes features or functionality of the app and allows for downloading of content without licensing,' Apple said. 'Specifically, your app executes iDOS package and image files and allows iTunes File Sharing and Files support for importing games. While updates have been relatively consistent, Apple is threatening to pull iDOS 2 from the App Store for running afoul of the company's guidelines.Īs detailed in a blog post from developer Chaoji Li, Apple in a letter said the app does not comply with App Store Review guideline 2.5.2, which restricts apps from installing or running executable code.

The app comes complete with a PC keyboard, gamepad, and mouse, each of which can be operated by Bluetooth accessories. Available since 2014, iDOS 2 emulates the DOS system on iOS, allowing users to play classic games and use other DOS applications like word processors.
