Developer account removed by Apple – $108,878 frozen

One of the main draws of iOS is its resistance to malware, adware, and outright scam apps.

Have we visited the same appstore? Just few days ago I tried to find a puzzle game for my kid and myself to play together. A whole bunch of them, from top results, resulted in games which had shady dark UI initial screens trying to get to $14.99 or similar monthly subscriptions. Eventually I caved in to arcade sub because I couldn't trust any of the results or find a normal paid one (once). Scammy at best.

Looked at android recently? It’s far far worse. Also “has ads” isn’t a synonym for “malware”.

Yes, I have and to be honest I haven't noticed a difference at all, apart google at least pretending it cares with play protect.

That's only true for some Android application stores.
