Recently, the Apple App Store has taken strict measures against emerging "Vibe Coding" applications. According to insiders, the popular programming tool "Anything" was officially removed last week.

So-called "vibe coding" refers to a development model where users simply describe their needs in natural language, and AI automatically generates and runs the code. This model greatly lowers the barrier to programming but has crossed Apple's "self-contained rules."

Apple stated that according to Section 2.5.2 of the Review Guidelines, all apps must run independently within their own package. Developers are strictly prohibited from downloading or executing new code that changes the existing functionality of the app through external means.

In simple terms, Apple allows apps to help users write code, but not let this code change the app itself. The developers of the removed "Anything" tried to avoid the risk by updating the app, moving the code preview feature to a web page.

However, Apple ultimately rejected this update request and decided to completely remove it from the App Store. In addition to "Anything," well-known AI programming apps such as Replit and Vibe Code have also faced update blocks consecutively.

Apple emphasized that this action is not targeting AI technology, but rather to maintain the security and consistency of the App Store. The official expressed concern that allowing apps to load unreviewed code during operation could pose significant security risks.

Currently, some similar applications are still available on the market, but the entire AI programming community is in a state of high tension. Developers are trying to find a new balance between the innovation of "natural language programming" and Apple's strict review mechanisms.
