Apple now requires new apps to show proof of a Chinese government license before releasing their software on the China App Store.

, Cupertino started requiring app developers to submit the “internet content provider filing” when they publish new apps on its App Store.This ICP filing is a “longtime registration system required for websites to operate legally in China.” With that, Apple joins Tencent and Huawei stores that have complied with this change since 2017. Getting this license requires developers to have a company in China or work with a local publisher.

Many Chinese have been taking advantage of VPNs to access the content they weren’t allowed to. Now, with this new change, they may have to use other region’s App Store to access their favorite apps, as not every developer will be able to meet the criteria.
