Apple kept silent about a virus in the App Store that affected almost 130 million devices
- ABack in 2015, a virus contained in the unofficial Xcode tool affected many apps, including even big and well-known ones like Angry Birds. Because of Apple's slow servers, developers, including large ones, were forced to find ways to work on applications and used the infected Xcode tool. When the virus became known, Apple notified the developers of the need to urgently use the official version of Xcode.
It turns out that Apple was in no hurry to tell users that their devices could have been listed as infected. This was revealed in the course of Apple and Epic's dispute, when a correspondence between managers of the Cupertino-based company became public. In the conversation, the employees discussed the need to notify users at risk, but no positive decision was made.
