The App Store opened on July 10, 2008, with an initial 500 applications available. The number of apps peaked at around 2.2 million in 2017, but declined slightly over the next few years as Apple began a process to remove old or 32-bit apps. As of 2021<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=App_Store_(Apple)&action=edit">[update]</a>, the store features more than 1.8 million apps.

Developers will be warned and given 30 days to update their apps, but apps that crash on startup will be removed immediately. Additionally, the app names registered by developers cannot exceed 50 characters, in an attempt to stop developers from inserting long descriptions or irrelevant terms in app names to improve the app's ranking in App Store search results.<a href="#cite_note-212">[212]</a><a href="#cite_note-213">[213]</a> App intelligence firm Sensor Tower revealed in November 2016 that Apple, as promised from its September announcement of removing old apps, had removed 47,300 apps from App Store in October 2016, a 238 percent increase of its prior number of average monthly app removals.<a href="#cite_note-214">[214]</a><a href="#cite_note-215">[215]</a> In June 2017, <a href="/wiki/TechCrunch" title="TechCrunch">TechCrunch</a> reported that Apple had turned its app removal focus on apps copying functionality from other, popular apps. An example cited included "if a popular game like <a href="/wiki/Flappy_Bird" title="Flappy Bird">Flappy Bird</a> or Red Ball hits the charts, there will be hundreds or thousands of clones within weeks that attempt to capitalize on the initial wave of popularity". The report also noted removals of music apps serving <a href="/wiki/Pirated" class="mw-redirect" title="Pirated">pirated</a> tracks. The publication wrote that, since the initial September app removals began, Apple had removed "multiple hundreds of thousands" of apps.<a href="#cite_note-216">[216]</a><a href="#cite_note-217">[217]</a> In December 2017, a new report from TechCrunch stated that Apple had begun enforcing new restrictions on the use of "commercialized template or app generation services". Originally introduced as part of Apple's <a href="/wiki/Apple_Worldwide_Developers_Conference" class="mw-redirect" title="Apple Worldwide Developers Conference">2017 developer conference</a>, new App Store guidelines allow the company to ban apps making use of templates or commercial app services. This affected many small businesses, with TechCrunch's report citing that "local retailers, restaurants, small fitness studios, nonprofits, churches and other organizations" benefit from using templates or app services due to minimal costs. Developers had received notice from Apple with a January 1, 2018 deadline to change their respective apps. The news caught the attention of Congress, with Congressman <a href="/wiki/Ted_Lieu" title="Ted Lieu">Ted Lieu</a> writing a letter to Apple at the beginning of December, asking it to reconsider, writing that "It is my understanding that many small businesses, research organizations, and religious institutions rely on template apps when they do not possess the resources to develop apps in-house", and that the new rules cast "too wide a net", specifically "invalidating apps from longstanding and legitimate developers who pose no threat to the App Store's integrity". Additionally, the news of stricter enforcement caused significant criticism from app development firms; one company told TechCrunch that it chose to close down its business following the news, saying that "The 4.2.6 [rule enforcement] was just a final drop that made us move on a bit faster with that decision [to close]", and another company told the publication that "There was no way in June [when the guidelines changed] that we would have said, ‘that's going to target our apps' ... Apple had told us you aren't being targeted by this from a quality standpoint. So being hit now under the umbrella of spam is shocking to every quality developer out there and all the good actors". Furthermore, the latter company stated that "there's only so much you can do with apps that perform the same utility – ordering food". A third company said that "Rule 4.2.6 is a concrete illustration of the danger of Apple's dominant position", and a fourth said that "They’ve wiped out pretty much an entire industry.

Maya Wang at <a href="/wiki/Human_Rights_Watch" title="Human Rights Watch">Human Rights Watch</a> told <a href="/wiki/The_Washington_Post" title="The Washington Post">The Washington Post</a> that "Cook's appearance lends credibility to a state that aggressively censors the internet, throws people in jail for being critical about social ills, and is building artificial intelligence systems that monitors everyone and targets dissent. ... The version of cyberspace the Chinese government is building is a decidedly dystopian one, and I don't think anyone would want to share in this ‘common future.’ Apple should have spoken out against it, not endorsed it."<a href="#cite_note-233">[233]</a> U.S. Senator <a href="/wiki/Patrick_Leahy" title="Patrick Leahy">Patrick Leahy</a> told <a href="/wiki/CNBC" title="CNBC">CNBC</a> that "American tech companies have become leading champions of free expression.

Furthermore, Russell listed censorship efforts by the Chinese government, including VPN bans and restrictions on live video and messaging apps, and wrote that "Apple had little choice but to follow Beijing's line in order to continue to do business in the lucrative Chinese market, but statements like Cook's today are dangerous because they massively underplay the severity of the situation".<a href="#cite_note-237">[237]</a> Florida Senator <a href="/wiki/Marco_Rubio" title="Marco Rubio">Marco Rubio</a> also criticized Cook's appearance at the World Internet Conference, describing the situation as "here's an example of a company, in my view, so desperate to have access to the Chinese market place that they are willing to follow the laws of that country even if those laws run counter to what those companies’ own standards are supposed to be".<a href="#cite_note-238">[238]</a> In August 2018, as a result of Chinese regulations, 25,000 illegal apps were pulled down by Apple from the App Store in China.<a href="#cite_note-239">[239]</a><a href="#cite_note-240">[240]</a> In October 2019, Apple rejected,<a href="#cite_note-241">[241]</a> approved,<a href="#cite_note-242">[242]</a> and finally removed<a href="#cite_note-243">[243]</a><a href="#cite_note-244">[244]</a> an app used by participants in the <a href="/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_Hong_Kong_protests" class="mw-redirect" title="2019–20 Hong Kong protests">2019–20 Hong Kong protests</a>.

For iOS users, if they purchased through the Apple storefront, they were not given this discount, as Epic said they could not extend the discount due to the 30% revenue cut taken by Apple.<a href="#cite_note-256">[256]</a> Within hours, Apple had removed Fortnite from their storefronts stating the means of bypassing their payment systems violated the terms of service.<a href="#cite_note-257">[257]</a> Epic immediately filed separate lawsuits against Apple and Google for antitrust and anticompetitive behavior in the <a href="/wiki/United_States_District_Court_for_the_Northern_District_of_California" title="United States District Court for the Northern District of California">United States District Court for the Northern District of California</a>.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes_epic_apple_google-258">[258]</a> Epic did not seek monetary damages in either case but instead was "seeking injunctive relief to allow fair competition in these two key markets that directly affect hundreds of millions of consumers and tens of thousands, if not more, of third-party app developers."<a href="#cite_note-verge_epic_apple_suit-259">[259]</a> In comments on social media the next day, Sweeney said that they undertook the actions as "we're fighting for the freedom of people who bought smartphones to install apps from sources of their choosing, the freedom for creators of apps to distribute them as they choose, and the freedom of both groups to do business directly. The primary opposing argument is: 'Smartphone makers can do whatever they want.' This as an awful notion.

developer accounts by August 28, 2020, leading Epic to file a motion for a preliminary injunction to force Apple to return Fortnite to the App Store and prevent them from terminating Epic's developer
