TeraLeak: Terabytes of Apple’s Testflight Data Leaked Online
Dec. 19, 2023The leaked archives include prototypes and beta versions of a variety of iOS apps and games that were under test during the period. The most intriguing part is that the leak offers insights into various Angry Birds titles that were not officially released, provoking up the game preservation community in the hopes of recovering games that have been deleted from the App Store.
The gaming community has its sights fixed on this leak, particularly after the developer Rovio’s recent removal of theiconic Angry Birds gamefrom the Google Play Store because of business reasons. Interestingly, the game is available under a different name on the Apple App Store.
However, its availability in the near future is uncertain, which has led to greater anxiety among those who advocate for preservation. With this wealth of information now available, more interesting discoveries regarding the earlier stages of app development could be forthcoming.
In addition to the possibility of discovering games that never got released, users may also come across games that have been taken off the App Store and are not available to download on Apple’s App distribution platform. This leak could help preserve and archive a lot of long-forgotten or rather unseen iOS apps and games.
