After opening the learning software, it turned out to be a pornographic website. On October 7th, the entry "Apple Store is now using pornographic software disguised as learning software" appeared on Weibo hot searches.

According to media reports, some citizens reported discovering a yellow app disguised as a learning app in the Apple App Store, aged 4 and above, ranking 26th on the education rankings. After clicking to download the software, you can freely browse yellow videos and have access to gambling websites.

Once exposed, the download volume of the software rapidly increased, ranking third on the education ranking. Apple's official customer service responded and will immediately provide feedback to the App review team to handle the incident seriously. At 17:30 pm on the same day, the reporter searched for the software in the Apple App Store and was unable to find it.

After the topic attracted attention online, some netizens also reported that the first and second places in the "Free App Ranking" in the AppStore are yellow software called "Pipi", named "Riding XX" and "Peony XXX", with age ratings of 4 years and above. For example, the cycling software of the "Outdoor Cycling Communication Community" introduces that it provides one-stop cycling information, event notifications, forum communication, and other cycling skills. In fact, after the poster news reporter downloaded the software from the Apple App Store, the relevant content was filled with a large amount of yellow video information and contained multiple gambling entrances, which completely contradicted the previous software introduction.

On the morning of October 8th, the cycling software also had no relevant search results. In addition, the relevant software pointed out by multiple netizens also did not have relevant search results.

In fact, in 2022, the Weibo topic # Apple App Store was exposed to have a large number of pornographic apps #, which also hit the hot search and attracted attention.

It is worth noting that pornographic apps are just one of the chaos in the Apple App Store. In 2022, media reports reported that there were multiple apps described as learning apps in the Apple App Store, but after downloading and opening, they were online gaming apps that could be played and recharged without requiring real name verification.

A lawyer told the media that according to the relevant requirements of the "Regulations on the Management of Mobile Internet Application Information Services", the application distribution platform should review the application for listing and updating. If it is found that the application name, icon, and profile contain illegal and bad information, do not match the true identity information of the registered subject, and there are illegal and irregular business types, it is not allowed to provide services to them.

According to Apple's official website, the general process of releasing an app on the AppStore consists of five steps: selecting the build version, setting prices and sales ranges, submitting the app for review, applying for a promotional code, viewing the app status, and resolving review issues.

According to media reports, some practitioners have stated that an app needs to go through Apple's official review before officially landing on the Apple App Store. However, many developers of bad applications do not include any illegal content in the initial version of the app they submit for review. Instead, they wait until the app is launched before updating and iterating the app to reveal its true colors.

According to other media reports, Apple founder Steve Jobs once said in response to consumer emails, "We believe that Apple has a moral responsibility to keep the iPhone away from pornography, and those who want pornographic content should buy an Android phone.
