How vibe coding app Anything is rebuilding after getting booted from the App Store twice
Anything, a vibe coding app, was removed from the App Store twice by Apple for violating code execution rules, forcing it to seek alternative development methods.Summary
Apple has been blocking updates or removing "vibe coding" apps like Replit, Vibecode, and Anything from its App Store. Anything's app was removed twice, with Apple citing developer agreement clause 2.5.2, which prohibits apps from downloading, installing, or executing code. Apple stated the app was removed due to concerns it could be used to download malicious code or allow users to build and sideload harmful apps. After a brief reinstatement, Anything's app was removed again for marketing itself as an app maker. In response, Anything is exploring alternative strategies, including a desktop version of its service, an iMessage platform feature, and potentially developing for Google's Android operating system, which is perceived as more open than iOS. This situation echoes broader concerns raised by figures like Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney regarding Apple's restrictions on development tools.
