Apple Reportedly Designing a System to Admit AI Agents to the App Store

The effort signals a bid to harness agent features without loosening Apple’s privacy rules.

Overview

  • Multiple reports Wednesday said Apple is building an App Store framework for autonomous AI agents, with a possible reveal at WWDC in June.
  • The proposed system would enforce iPhone privacy and security rules and curb risky behavior seen in some agents, such as OpenClaw deleting a user’s emails.
  • Apple has recently blocked updates to popular vibe-coding apps for violating a rule that forbids code that changes how an app or other apps behave on the device.
  • Developers say Apple has begun outreach to wire app actions into a revamped Siri in iOS 27 for tasks like booking flights or sending calendar invites, with no commissions in early trials.
  • Reporting also says the overhauled Siri will use custom Google Gemini models and could let users pick other chatbots for image and writing features.
