> After almost two month long review process, Apple has rejected UTM SE from the iOS App Store as well as from notarization for third party app stores. Their reasoning is that rule 4.7 which Apple recently introduced that allows for Delta, PPSSPP, and other emulators to be allowed does NOT apply to UTM SE. The App Store Review Board determined that "PC is not a console" regardless of the fact that there are retro Windows/ DOS games for the PC that UTM SE can be useful in running. Additionally, Apple's stance is that UTM SE is not allowed on third party marketplaces either because rule 4.7 also applies to Notarization Review Guidelines.

We do not wish to invest any additional time or effort trying to get UTM SE in the App Store or third party stores unless Apple changes their stance.
I'm not too surprised that Apple rejected this for their app store, but the fact that they won't allow this in the third party market place is an abuse of power...
**Update #1**
It's weird that Apple says that rule 4.7 applies to third party marketplaces, since it does not have the key icon.
