Recently, the well-known proxy tool Sing Box was removed from the Apple platform, which attracted the attention of many users. As a cross-platform proxy software, Sing Box is popular in the field of network optimization and privacy protection due to its support for multiple protocols and its ease of use. However, the sudden removal of the Apple platform makes people wonder whether this is related to its function or policy supervision.
It is understood that the Apple platform has very strict review rules for applications, especially for applications involving proxy services, privacy and network communications. Some analysts believe that some of Sing Box’s features may have touched Apple’s policy red lines, such as the use scenarios of network proxies or data processing methods. In this case, developers often need to adjust the app to meet Apple’s review requirements.
After being removed from the App Store, Sing Box quickly launched a new version – sing-box VT. According to the developer, this name change is not only to meet the needs of Apple’s policy, but also to show the stability and innovation of the product through the new name. From the functional point of view, Sing Box VT continues the previous powerful performance, while making some optimizations in details, such as stricter privacy protection, simpler user interface, etc., in order to successfully pass Apple’s review.
Currently, Sing Box VT has been re-listed on the Apple platform. The developer said that they will continue to strengthen their research on policies to ensure that future updates can be pushed to users smoothly. This incident also reminds other developers that while designing powerful functions, they must always pay attention to the policy dynamics of the app store to avoid similar problems.
