The First iOS Retro PC Emulator has been Approved by Apple

Apple iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS users can now install a retro PC emulator app that can run classic software and games.

The aforementioned app was rejected by Apple just a few weeks ago because of some technicalities. The UTS team, posted on X, thanks Altstore and Apple for making this possible.

We are happy to announce that UTM SE is available (for free) on iOS and visionOS App Store (and coming soon to AltStore PAL)!

Shoutouts to AltStore team for their help and to Apple for reconsidering their policy.https://t.co/HAV5JnT5GO

Here’s the App Store description for UTM SE:

UTM SE is a PC emulator that allows you to run classic software and old-school games.
Supports both VGA mode for graphics and terminal mode for text-only operating systems
Emulates x86, PPC, and RISC-V architectures
Run pre-built machines or create your configuration from scratch
Built from QEMU, a powerful and widely used emulator

UTM SE, out of the box, lacks operating systems and does not come with any. However, links are provided by UTM where you can get Windows XP through Windows 11 emulation and other guides and pre-built virtual Linux machines.
