To summarize: It was a copycat version of CocoaBob's GBA4iOS, uploaded without his consent, and on top of that, filled with ads and tracking user data.

Shit, an emulator getting taken down for... actual copyright infringement? You don't see that every day.

Since the licensing of GBA4iOS was GPLv2 they could've posted the source code with their edits and call it a day; but i guess they didnt even do that.

That one didnt last long. Edit: Read the article, Hope the actual devs upload it

The "actual devs" straight copied another app that is still available on the app store, and then enshittified it heavilly. To the depths with them!
