☆ Apple enforces new check on apps in China as Beijing tightens oversight
  + stars: | 2023-10-03 | by ( Josh Ye | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
People line up while waiting at an Apple Store as Apple's new iPhone 15 officially goes on sale across China, in Shanghai, China September 22, 2023. Apple began last Friday requiring app developers to submit the "internet content provider (ICP) filing" when they publish new apps on its App Store, it said on its website for developers. Chinese regulators last week released names of the first batch of mobile app stores that have completed app filings, but Apple's App Store was not among those on the list. In a post on X, Jinyu Meng, an independent developer, said, "If my apps can't be launched in China without app filing, I will take down my apps [there]." Under the new rule, apps without proper filings will be punished after the grace period that will end in March next year, while newly developed apps need to comply with the rule from September.

☆ Tencent, others begin enforcing China's new oversight move on apps
  + stars: | 2023-09-04 | by ( Josh Ye | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The moves comply with new rules introduced last month as Beijing tightens oversight of mobile apps in the country. "The Android app stores have confirmed that new apps require the app filings from Friday onwards, and existing apps must have it from March 31 onwards," Rich Bishop, CEO of app publishing firm AppInChina said. "It forces all global apps on these app stores to either establish a local entity or work with a local partner." As of Monday, it is not yet checking apps' filing status, AppInChina said, citing its own checks. The notice also said app stores will have to clearly mark each app's filing status on their platforms.

☆ China to require all apps to share business details in new oversight push
  + stars: | 2023-08-09 | by ( Josh Ye | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
REUTERS/Thomas Peter/File PhotoHONG KONG, Aug 9 (Reuters) - China will require all mobile app providers in the country to file business details with the government, its information ministry said, marking Beijing's latest effort to keep the industry on a tight leash. The new rule is primarily aimed at combating online fraud but it will impact on all apps in China, he said. Bishop said that in order to comply with the new rules, app developers now must either have a company in China or work with a local publisher. Use of such apps are not allowed in China, but they can be still downloaded from app stores, enabling Chinese to use them when traveling overseas. China already requires mobile games to obtain licences before they launch in the country and it had purged tens of thousands of unlicenced games from various app stores in 2020.

☆ A game about sheep is going viral in China even as gaming regulation remains tight
  + stars: | 2022-09-28 | by ( Evelyn Cheng | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
A young Beijing company's game called "Sheep a Sheep" went viral in China in September 2022. That's because the new game, called Sheep a Sheep, sits inside ByteDance's Douyin and Tencent's messaging app WeChat as a mini-program. Sheep a Sheep just went viral these past few days. Weeks later in early September, Jianyou had launched the sheep game, according to posts on its official Weibo, a Twitter-like social media platform in China. In contrast, NetEase's first game approval in more than a year came 10 months after the company registered the software, according to Tianyancha data.
