Apple rejected or removed more than 1 million malicious apps from its App Store and stopped more than $1.5 billion in potentially fraudulent transactions in 2020. UK APP STORE DEVELOPERS RAKE IN 22 PER CENT MORE CASH IN 2020 App developers have seen a boom in business due to the coronavirus pandemic, Apple revealed in March. As a result, more than 330,000 Britons are, at least in part, now employed with money from the App Store. Sometimes on the App Store, developer accounts are created entirely for fraudulent purposes, often resulting in the offender being expelled from the App Store Developer Program and their account terminated. Apple started building its dominant App Store 13 years ago as part of a strategy masterminded by co-founder Steve Jobs.
