Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union

Would it be possible to create multiple separate apps each having max 1M users? This Firefox1 app would host first million, then be removed from store but still provide updates. It would be replaced by Firefox2 app. And so?

Is there some clause in the contracts that says apps from same source will count as single app, no matter how many times they are uploaded as separate app?

I wouldn't try it. :/

It could easily fall under a fraud or abuse clause. If you decide to play games, Apple would be more than happy to pull their authorization and ban you out of spite. Now none of your apps work.

It's unlikely but they could also pull a google and ban any company who hires you in the future.

It's about as maliciously compliant as Apple is being.

> be removed from store but still provide updates

How do you provide updates after removing it from the store?
