Apple is updating its App Store policies to relent on a longstanding ban on game streaming apps. Developers are now allowed to submit a single app that can contain a catalog of games, where the game code is running off a server. This allows services like Xbox Cloud Gaming to finally release a native app for the iPhone and iPad.
Previously, Apple required developers submit a separate app for each game individually, a laborious and untenable affair.
Unlike most of the other changes introduced today which apply only in the European Union, the game streaming policy update applies globally.
