Language learning app Duolingo has apparently been using the iPhone's Live Activity feature to display ads on the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island, which violates Apple's design guidelines. According to multiple reports on Reddit, the Duolingo app has been displaying an ad for a "Super offer," which is Duolingo's paid subscription option. Apple's guidelines for Live Activity state that the feature cannot be used to display ads or promotions.
Didn’t Duolingo fire most of its developers and claim to replace them with AI. Well, I doubt agenic AI clicked the “I agree” to the Apple Developer “Terms of Service” and is therefore no bound to Apple’s silly rules for humans. Checkmate Apple! /s
I guess that means me never clicking “I agree” on the MacOS ToS makes my Hackintosh Thinkpad legal 😁
