As of 2022, Apple had 1,783,232 apps in whole on the App Retailer, in response to a 2022 App Retailer Transparency Report revealed on the corporate’s web site (by way of 9to5Mac). It’s the primary report revealed as a part of the corporate’s $100 million settlement with App Retailer builders in 2021.
At the moment, Apple mentioned the report would come with “significant statistics concerning the app evaluate course of, together with the variety of apps rejected for various causes, the variety of buyer and developer accounts deactivated, goal knowledge relating to search queries and outcomes, and the variety of apps faraway from the App Retailer.”
On this first report, along with particulars just like the variety of whole apps, what number of app submissions have been reviewed (6,101,913), and what number of have been rejected (1,679,694), Apple has statistics for issues like causes apps have been rejected, apps faraway from the shop listed by class, and apps faraway from the App Retailer attributable to authorities takedown calls for. The report additionally says there have been 36,974,015 registered Apple builders and that it terminated 428,487 developer accounts. And the “common weekly variety of buyer accounts looking out the App Retailer” was 373,211,396, that means {that a} lot of individuals are trying out the shop on a weekly foundation.
I actually suggest scanning the report itself. It’s solely two pages lengthy, so it’s simple to digest. In 2021, Apple promised that this report could be launched on an annual foundation, so I’m curious to see how issues change once we can take a look at the 2023 report subsequent yr.
This isn’t the one App Retailer knowledge Apple shared this week. The corporate additionally revealed that it blocked $2.09 billion in fraudulent transactions on the platform final yr. And there’s at all times the chance that Apple shares extra knowledge quickly on the Worldwide Builders Convention, which kicks off on June fifth.
