Apple Inc.’s top executive in charge of media-related software technology is leaving the iPhone maker to join Roblox Corp., adding to a string of recent high-profile departures.

John Stauffer is exiting Apple after about 24 years to become a vice president of engineering at the online gaming platform. He was one of a handful of company vice presidents to report directly to software engineering chief Craig Federighi.
