Quick Glance: Poland's Strategy for EU Recovery Grants and Law Change to Boost Investments
- With a little over two years left to spend European Union recovery money, Poland is firmly focusing on maximizing the smaller grants portion of the program, while viewing cheap loans as a secondary component.
- Poland is expected to receive 6 billion euros from recovery funds on Monday, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government is revising the national reconstruction plan to list projects and reforms aimed for approval by Brussels this month.
- To expedite investments, the Polish government is also working on amending existing laws to avoid converting all incoming euro-denominated funds into Polish zlotys, with a decision expected either this month or next.
- However, some economists caution that investor optimism regarding the inflow of funds may be excessive, especially with the upcoming Polish presidential elections next year potentially impacting the implementation of necessary reforms to ensure the continuous flow of funds.

Apple pulls iPhone GBA emulator, but not because it encourages piracy: Just days after changing its policies to allow video game emulators on iPhone ...

Quick Glance: Game Boy Emulator Released for iPhone, Allows Downloading ROMs from the Web and Playing
- After Apple relaxed its App Store policy to allow the publishing of retro game emulators in its marketplace, iGBA, a free Game Boy emulator, becomes the first emulator available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store.
- The developer of the iGBA Game Boy emulator is leveraging this rule change to provide users with the ability to download and enjoy game ROMs. The emulator is built upon a well-known open-source platform but comes with integrated advertisements.
- iGBA effectively fulfills its purpose by providing seamless emulation of Game Boy games. Users can access Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Color games from various sources and load them into iGBA for gameplay. It offers a comprehensive set of features such as save states, customization of the virtual controller, haptic feedback settings, and support for AirPlay.
- With the official availability of the iGBA emulator, which facilitates the loading and playing of downloaded ROMs, the potential release of the PPSSPP emulator on the App Store may be imminent. To access the iGBA emulator, simply follow the provided link to download it from the App Store.

Apple removes the first iOS Game Boy emulator released under new App Store rules: iGBA seems to have taken unauthorized code from earlier GBA4iOS project.
arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/04/apple-removes-the-first-ios-game-boy-emulator-released-under-new-app-store-rules/
Quick Glance: Apple Removes iGBA Emulator from App Store for Policy Violations
- Apple has officially announced the removal of the iGBA Game Boy emulator from the App Store due to violations of the store's policies related to spam and copyright issues, with no specific details provided.
- The developers of iGBA created a similar version of the popular open-source GBA4iOS emulator by Riley Testut. Despite iGBA reaching the top of the App Store charts after its release this weekend, complaints arose regarding the app being a clear imitation overloaded with advertisements.
- The reasons behind Apple's decision to remove iGBA are still unclear. Clarification on the app removal process has been requested from Apple, and this article will be updated once additional information is received.
- An intriguing feature of iGBA was the capability for iPhone users to download any Game Boy game ROMs from the internet. However, the app's removal raises uncertainty about Apple's stance on allowing ROM-loading apps in the App Store. Nintendo has explicitly stated on its US customer support website that downloading pirated copies of its games is illegal, but whether Nintendo has reached out to Apple on this matter remains ambiguous.
