Apple’s Cal AI crackdown signals it’s still policing the App Store

Apple’s recent crackdown on the MyFitnessPal-owned Cal AI food-logging app demonstrates that the tech giant is still enforcing its strict App Store rules around the use of external payments. The calorie-counting app, which was briefly removed from the App Store last week, had attempted to skirt Apple’s in-app purchase guidelines and had also employed manipulative tactics, Apple told TechCrunch.

The developer has since addressed the issues, and the app has returned to Apple’s App Store.
