How Can Shopify Stop App Store Spam and Unfair Competition?

Hey guys – appreciate the discussion here and wanted to share an update from X: https://x.com/blairbeckwith/status/2115795229089395158

Today we unpublished hundreds of apps from the App Store. They came from a small group of high-volume submitters and had no merchant installs.

The App Store exists to solve real problems for merchants. Mass submissions distract from the partners who are doing that work.

We’ll soon be announcing new restrictions that limit the number of apps that can be submitted at once and we’ll keep raising the bar.

Work’s not done, but it’s a start. Stay tuned.
