Chinese Government Cracks Down on Gaming Industry:
The Chinese Government has urged on enforcing strict rules on China’s gaming trade to regulate private data. The approval process for gaming apps that promote in-app purchases is very complex. That’s why this problem has risen for Chinese gaming app developers. The trade of the world’s largest game developers exists in China.
Problems for Small Developers:
Marketing manager for Apple at China said the move would have the greatest effect on small-sized developers. Their earnings will also cut down. But now the iOS game industry in China is also going through the pain of obtaining a business right.
Apple’s Deadline for License was on 30th June:
According to a Qimai report, in February 2020, Apple updated a notice on the backstage review page of its app store.
Under Chinese law, the General Administration of Press must license the apps and Publishing House. With this in mind, people had to make this license available by June 30, 2020. In fact, it was a deadline to submit the licence. License numbers for all existing apps are mandatory in mainland China.
