You'd think the Apple review process would prevent these kind of things.
it needs apple seal of approval to even exist in their eco, so it must the real deal!
Is there a way to trick the App Store into displaying the wrong age for your app? Because if not, then this app is 4 years old and Meta is actually stealing their name.
The 4+ age is like for videogames ESRB and PEGI, itβs not the age of how long the app has been in the App Store
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
Fair enough. I'm surprised there isn't a more obvious release date on the front section of the App Store. Might be useful to know how long a product has been available.
