Apple targets vibe-coded Bolt apps
Apple is reportedly rejecting iOS apps built with browser-based AI tools like Bolt.new, citing violations of security guidelines regarding dynamic code execution. The move signals a major hurdle for the "vibe coding" movement as the App Store enforces strict review standards on AI-generated software.
This crackdown highlights the growing tension between the rapid, iterative nature of AI generation and Apple's highly controlled ecosystem. Enforcement of Guideline 2.5.2 effectively blocks apps with dynamic code execution, while Apple reportedly identifies these submissions through common UI templates and hallucinated logic errors. This policy shift impacts tools like Replit and Vibecode, potentially pushing developers toward Progressive Web Apps as the only viable path for shipping unrestricted AI-generated software.
