Apple Quietly Blocking Vibe Coding App Updates — Replit Falls From #1 to #3 in App Store Dev Tools

MacRumors·high signal

Apple told The Information that vibe coding apps including Replit and Vibecode violate long-standing App Store rules by displaying AI-generated apps inside an embedded web view within the parent app. Since its last update in January, Replit's App Store ranking dropped from first to third place in developer tools. Apple's stated concern is apps that enable users to build applications operating outside the App Store ecosystem; developers may also lose the ability to create apps for Apple platforms entirely.
