The app is obviously incredibly popular, but if it wasn’t back by the Chinese government I imagine apple would have enforced their App Store rules.

I imagine some kind of deal along the lines of “no WeChat no iPhone in China” was done.

seriously, you underestimate the popularity of wechat. no deal is needed because it is easy to see that an iphone without wechat just would not sell!
