    No vetting of APPS on the MS APP STORE


    I downloaded a few deal of the day APPS yesterday. One clearly appeared to be from VLC as used LOGO. However:

    It is only an app with links to some YouTube VLC tutorials and other links to alleged VLC experts.


    It is really bad. The DANGEROUS part is the developer also included an app called Blue-Ray+ which I DID NOT ask for and which I find is impossible to rid my PC of all the junk it left behind even after a MS WIN 10 uninstall.


    DOES MS APP STORE DO ANY VETTING OF APPS? Especially annoying was this was promoted front page under DEALS and was the first app. Big mistake by me to not do more vetting myself. I trust Microsoft to look out for us like APPLE.

    Please correct me if I am wrong about their doing on Vetting of APPS or DEVELOPERS. Please help the discussion as it is morally wrong for the MS brand to allow these people access to our WIN 10 machines because of the TRUST we place in them. Thank you!

    :)

    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.

    Windows Store to Pack "Mature" Games and Apps

    They announce this right after they said weren't going to carry any of it... Ya think some investors told them to stfu and take money? *Laugh :laugh:

    I wonder how long it will be before you can't install noncertified apps? The app store is the 1st stepping stone. Although, you'd have to be an idiot to give 30% to these clowns.
