The vibe-coding app Anything has been pulled from the App Store for a second time, just weeks after a brief return that saw the developer claim victory. AppleInsider confirms the app is nowhere to be found in the App Store, searches, or via direct links as of April 6. This follows its removal on March 30, which prompted Anything to launch a $5,000 hackathon and credit giveaway on X, celebrating what it claimed was a victory over Apple.

The developer alleged Apple was 'scared' of vibe coding, leading to an iMessage-based version. However, the App Store return proved fleeting. Apple has not publicly disclosed the reason for the initial removal or the subsequent reinstatement and removal.

The developer has also not provided specific details. The lack of transparency from both sides underscores ongoing friction over vibe coding apps that allow users to create other apps without traditional App Store submission. This situation highlights the ongoing tension between Apple's App Store policies and developers offering alternative app creation methods.
