Apple Blocks Updates to AI-Driven Vibe Coding Apps Amid Rule Debate
Apple has quietly blocked updates for AI-driven 'vibe coding' apps like Replit and Vibecode, saying they breach App Store rules against apps executing code to alter their own or other apps. Some updates could pass if the apps stop rendering generated content inside the app (e.g., via an embedded web view) or remove the ability to generate software for Apple devices. The Information reported the move; Apple later said there are no rules specifically targeting vibe coding and cited guidelines about self-contained apps and not executing code that changes functionality, along with the Developer Program License.
