After what Apple Yes Microsoft They’ll be playing cat and mouse for months, it looks like the Xbox ones have taken the cat to the water, and finally we will be able to play the xCloud gaming platform from our Apple devices.

Microsoft and Apple engaged in a heated public discussion last year on the guidelines for the App Store. Apple refused to make apps like xCloud available on the App Store.
Those in Cupertino argued that with this app they could play games that Apple could not control their content, which could be violent, with sex scenes, etc. With the excuse of “watching” user safety, refused to publish the application on the App Store.
