Apple releases its first App Store Transparency Report for 2022 revealing the total number of apps that were available to iPhone users at the end of 2022.
And the number kept growing. By 2011, just 34 months since the App Store opened for business, it had over 500,000 apps on the shelves. In 2012, the App Store had 700,000 apps. But by July 2013, the Google Play Store, which started life in 2008 as the Android Market on the T-Mobile G1 had passed the App Store. The Play Store was the first to hit the one million app mark topping the 900,000 that was then available from the iOS app storefront.
Apple removed 1,474 apps from the App Store due to government demand. As the company stated,"Apps are removed only from storefronts in which the entity demanding removal has jurisdiction, and they remain available in all other storefronts." Perhaps it is not a huge surprise that 97% of the apps removed from the App Store because of a country's request came from mainland China.
between Apple and app developers in 2021. Besides having to shell out some money to developers , the settlement requires Apple to release this App Transparency Report every year starting with the one just posted by Apple covering 2022.
