Apple Claims Steam Link App Violates App Store Guidelines

Here's what Valve is contending with:
App Store Review Guidelines - Apple Developer

The ones that stand out that may have caught Steam Link:

So yeah, there's a lot of reasons why Steam Link would get rejected.

App submissions and approvals is a thing between developer and Apple. Valve intentionally let this information leak probably because Apple's restrictive guidlines will never allow Steam Link to be on the store. Valve is hoping the Steam user base makes a lot of noise so Apple grants Valve and exemption. I doubt it will work. Apple loves control and Steam Link is a portal into the Linux/Windows ecosystem. Even if Steam Link were exclusive to Mac OS, Apple would likely demand Valve use Mac OS's remote desktop features rather than Steam Link.

I'd be shocked if Apple allows it.

 

How do I fix Windows 10 apps from launching the store instead of the actual app?

This is a sign of app metadata getting damaged.

Try resetting the app (from the App and Features part of Settings). If that failed, uninstall and reinstall the app.

This solution is for Windows v1709 and earlier only. 1803 is not stable enough at this time.

To reset an app:

1. Press Win+X to open the quick access menu.
   
2. Select "Apps and Feature" (which should be on the top)
   
3. Find the affected app and select it.
   
4. Click on the "Advanced options" hyperlink that just appeared.
   
5. In the next screen, press the "Reset" button.
   

To wipe-and-reload an app:

1. Uninstall it.
   
   1. Right-click on its tile and select "Uninstall". proceed to the next step whether you find an uninstall option or not.
      
   2. Press Win+X to open the quick access menu.
      
   3. Select "Apps and Feature" (which should be on the top)
      
   4. Find the affected app and select it. If you can't find it, skip the next step.
      
   5. Click on the "Uninstall" button.
      
2. Open Microsoft Store
   
3. If an update for Microsoft Store is available, install it.
   
4. Navigate to the page corresponding to your app. Do this using the search or via the library. Please don't use any other method.
   
5. If Microsoft Store thinks the app is still installed, click on "Uninstall" button.
   
6. Have every user account on you computer repeat the steps above.
   
7. Go back to Microsoft Store and install it.
