The conflicts in question arose from the fact that users could purchase games through Steam using the app.Īpple has on many occasions denied approval for apps that allow users to make purchases without going through the App Store, which gives Apple a percentage of the transaction.

A statement released by Valve attributed this to 'business conflicts' that Apple said its original review team had missed. The app allows users to play their Steam games on Apple's devices although they are actually running and being rendered on a powerful enough PC, as long as they have a high-speed local Wi-Fi network.Īlthough Valve announced the app for Android and iOS on May 9 last year after having made it through Apple's App Store approval process, the iOS app was withdrawn the next day.

Valve's Steam Link app, which allows PC users to stream their Steam games from a PC to an Apple TV, iPhone, or iPad, is finally available to users after having been rejected from the iOS App Store by Apple over a year ago.
