Apple revises App Store policy, copycat apps face ban

Since the very start of the App Store in 2008, Apple has maintained a robust screening security to ensure protection not just for the customers but also for talented app developers.

Last month, Apple revealed that it prevented $2 billion worth of fraud transactions on its App Store. Also, it is said to have rejected 1.7 million app submissions. Among them, close to 400,000 applications were turned away for violating user privacy policy. And, more than 150,000 app submissions were rejected for being copycats, spam, and promising misleading services.
