- Apple removed the “Anything” app, a “vibe coding” tool, from the App Store.
- Apple warned that a flood of new software is straining its review process and raising security risks.
- Replit complained that Apple’s enforcement of App Store rules is erratic and inconsistent, a view echoed by the startup Anything.
- Lovable launched a “vibe coding” mobile app that lets users build apps with AI, highlighting the growing market for such tools.
- Apple’s crackdown on “vibe coding” apps has been described as an escalation, with the removal of “Anything” marking a “significant escalation” over past actions.
- Replit’s CEO called Apple’s justification for blocking its app a “total lie”, underscoring startup frustration.
Why it matters: Startups lose a major distribution channel as Apple’s removal of Anything blocks a key AI‑app‑builder, while Apple claims the move protects users from security threats posed by a surge of AI‑driven apps. The enforcement shift pressures developers to adjust to stricter App Store scrutiny.
