It may be time for Apple to update the rules for its App. As we reported in this story today, app developers making apps that allow vibe coding - AI tools that let people without coding experience create apps easily - have run into delays getting their apps approved. Slowing down that process isn’t a good look for Apple, which has faced plenty of criticism in the past for exercising too much control over apps. It may not be a coincidence that the delay in App approvals is occurring just as vibe coding apps emerge as a potential threat to Apple.
