Why Apple removed apps on the Chinese App Store
As per Reuters, Apple already took out around 39,000 games and these are just part of the total 46,000 apps that were removed from the App Store since these are being used without a proper license from the government.
It was said that the case is severe because only 74 games have remained out of the 1,500 paid games that are on the store. While the games have official developers and publishers most of them do not have an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) that are being issued by the Chinese government.

What just happened? Starting earlier this year, Apple began removing apps from its regional store at the behest of the Chinese government. Paid apps, or those with in-app purchases, must be licensed with a China-issued ISBN. Apple gave developers fair warning that unlicensed apps would be removed. To meet the deadline, Cupertino conducted its biggest purge yet on the last day of 2020.
Apple removed more than 46,000 apps from its China store on Thursday, marking the largest single-day purge ever. Games made up the vast majority of the deletions, with some 39,000 titles taken down. Notable examples include Ubisoft s Assassin s Creed Identity and NBA 2K20. Research firm Qimai said that only 74 of the top 1,500 games in China remain in the App Store.
Apple has warned developers of the imminent removal of thousands of mobile games and apps from the Chinese App Store the second wave of removals this year.
The Wall Street Journal obtained an official Apple memo that was sent earlier this month, warning developers that they needed to submit proof of a Chinese government license on or before December 31, 2020.
This is the reemergence of an issue from July, when at least 15,000 games were removed from the Mainland Chinese App Store in a single month.
To avoid removal, developers and publishers needed an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) from China s National Press and Publication Administration a relatively slow process, which all but guarantees the failure of many companies to comply.
