Authors

Tyler Angelini, Chapman University

Abstract

"The Apple App Store is the sole means of application (“app”) distribution for all Apple devices, and Apple maintains exclusive control over which apps can do business on its platform. If developers want their apps to reach the immense number of Apple consumers, specifically iPhone users, developers must comply with all of Apple’s App Store policies."
