Apple has introduced a new policy for its China App Store, necessitating that new apps must show evidence of a Chinese government license before becoming available to users. This change brings Apple in line with local competitors who have followed this policy for a while now due to tightening state regulations. The "internet content provider (ICP) filing" requirement started last Friday, and developers must now submit this documentation when publishing new apps on the App Store.
