MacVoices #26188: Live - App Store Guidelines, AI Password Changing, and Snap's Specs
The MacVoices Live! panel discusses Apple’s updated App Store review guidelines, the challenge of filtering low-quality or AI-generated apps, and whether trusted developers should receive faster review. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Jim Rea, Marty Jencius, Web Bixby, Jeff Gamet, and Eric Bolden also debate Apple’s Passwords app gaining automatic password-changing abilities, weighing convenience against account-lockout risk. They also provide reactions to Snap’s new Specs and the uncertain future of smart glasses.  MacVoices is supported by NordLayer.
