Apple has banned cryptocurrency mining apps in its official App Store. The company has updated the Hardware Compatibility section of its App Store guidelines, which now explicitly restrict iOS and Mac apps and ads from mining cryptocurrency in the background. “Apps should not rapidly drain battery, generate excessive heat, or put unnecessary strain on device resources,” the guidelines states. The update reportedly occurred last week, possibly in response to popular Mac app Calendar 2 that bundled a Monero (XMR) miner in with its premium upgrade.
