With Apple’s App Store policies making it difficult, what options does Netflix have for its gaming service on iOS?
Netflix: Video streaming platform Netflix recently rolled out a mobile gaming service for Android users. The platform also said that it was working on creating an iOS version of the gaming service. However, reports have said that this might run into hurdles posed by the App Store policies put in place by Apple. The tech giant’s App Store policies will not allow Netflix to make games available from its app. Basically, as per Cupertino’s policies, third-party apps cannot act as a hub for games. This is also a point of contention with gaming services like Nvidia GeForce Now, Google Stadia and Xbox Cloud Gaming. The only way for cloud gaming platforms to get around this policy is by offering their games via a web app like Facebook has done.
