Tech giant Apple has modified some of its App Store guidelines this week by modifying some existing rules and adding new ones, rules that dictate what developers can and can not include in their applications before to get to the store. In rule 2.3.1, it states that developers should not include hidden or undocumented features of their tools, and it has also been updated to specifically prevent these developers from creating virus and malware scanners based on the signature system, iOS. Thus the tech giant Apple doesn’t want to be commercialized in any way projects focused on detecting viruses or malware based on iOS, warning that these practices could be considered as dishonest and reasons for breaking trade relations. It should be borne in mind that the company has been eliminating antivirus applications and antimalware from the App Store since the last year 2015, all in an effort to prevent their customers create that iOS devices can be infected by this type of malicious codes. Till to the date, this was a position known by many, but following the amendment of guidelines on this week, has already made official.
