appstore does not block illegal applications ?
I used to work for this company. They use an app I made (my app is legal). But they add an API switch feature to control the availability of the illegal content in the app. The accepted content is only a facade maintained until the app becomes available to users. Once it makes it to the store, the real content is loaded in a WebView. The real content is then delivered from a specific URL in a WebView. Only a valid IP address ( from Vietnam) used to query would cause the illegal content to load. Otherwise, the app continues with its store-approved functionality on both iOS and Android. My colleague tried to report this app to the authorities and apple but he received death threats. Now I have escaped that company (we are locked in an apartment) and I have tried to report this app many times to the appstore review team. They replied that they would look into it but strangely nothing happened This application : https://apps.apple.com/vn/app/s%C4%83n-h%C5%A9/id6447293108?l=vi You guys can open it with IP address from Vietnam and it will be changed to gambling app with real money prize

Simple tricks to bypass the review team
Hundreds of fake applications on the appstore: using simple tricks to bypass the review team. These applications include some APIs. When submitting these APIs are turned off so the application looks valid and when the application passes review these APIs are enabled. These APIs check so that if the user is qualified (for example, the IP address is from Vietnam), the application will be updated to illegal content (unlicensed real-money gambling games). Using this simple trick helps these applications easily pass the review team's censorship even if they are reviewed multiple times (because only IP addresses from Vietnam will allow the API to work). Another dangerous thing is that these applications are often made as games for children to easily be approved and last a long time on the appstore like some examples below. https://apps.apple.com/vn/app/which-way-for-the-fish/id6466961369?l=vi https://apps.apple.com/vn/app/s%C4%83n-h%C5%A9/id6447293108?l=vi https://apps.apple.com/vn/app/choihu-cardrealm-victoryquest/id6474621008 https://apps.apple.com/vn/app/choihu-eyeball/id6474282296?l=vi https://apps.apple.com/vn/app/xhu-gyro-spherical/id6473881099?l=vi
