Apple, which is shown as the strictest company in terms of controlling the application ecosystem, has unfortunately been experiencing difficulties recently. There are scam applications that disturb users in the macOS system.
macOS and scam applications
Some researches have discovered applications that do not leave a choice but to make a purchase for the user in the macOS system. These apps have managed to circumvent the strict Apple review processes.
Apple M2 chipset sounds very crowded.
My Metronome application keeps the user from leaving the window at all and forces them to subscribe. It can only be closed by force. It is stated that the developer has been trying to deceive users with various methods for a long time.
Music Paradise Player application also offers subscription, but it has given the opportunity to exit. It is stated that similar pop-up windows are presented in all other applications of the developer and cause serious inconvenience. FX Tool Box, All To MP3 Converter are among the detected applications.
These apps should be rejected according to standard store procedures but somehow managed to escape. It is estimated that the developers passed the evaluation by hiding the troublesome parts. In addition to macOS, it is noted that such applications are increasing in the iOS ecosystem.
