The “Kids” category is a great way for people to find apps designed for kids. If you want to participate in the Kids category, you need to focus on creating an exceptional experience specifically for young users. These apps must not contain links from the app, shopping opportunities, or other distractions for children unless they are reserved for a specific area behind a parental door. Keep in mind that once customers expect your app to meet the requirements of the child category, it should continue to follow these instructions in future updates, even if you deselect the category. Learn more about parental doors. Ask to buy: Ask to buy is a feature that allows an organizer to approve transactions initiated by a family member under the age of 18 (or the equivalent age of majority in your home country). Content shared by family members or purchased through content codes is generally not subject to purchase requisition. Content codes that facilitate access to subscriptions are subject to purchase request. The Organizer must be a parent or guardian of a family member for whom Ask to Buy is activated. Ask to Buy is enabled by default for all family members under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in their home country) and will remain in place until they are disabled by their parents or guardians. If the purchase requisition is deactivated after the family member reaches the age of 18, it cannot be activated. The purchase requisition does not need to have purchase sharing enabled.
Another updated requirement is the new WeatherKit toolkit for developers, which allows you to create apps that use Apple`s own weather data services. With Rule 5.2.5, Apple simply says that apps must meet the attribution requirements specified in the WeatherKit documentation. Use the appropriate lines of credit in all communications worldwide that list all Apple brands and products included in your communications and ads. Insert lines of credit only once into your communication or website and place lines of credit wherever you issue legal notice. Follow standard practices for placing a legal copy, such as creating additional screens or providing interactive links. If the App Store badge is used, credit both Apple and the Apple logo. Purchase Sharing: Family Sharing`s purchase sharing feature allows you to share eligible content with up to six family members. The Organizer invites other members to participate and undertakes to pay for all transactions initiated by family members. Organizer`s eligible payment methods will be used to pay for each transaction initiated by a Family Member (unless the Family Member`s account has a balance that is always used first). Family members act as agents of the organizer when using the organizer`s eligible payment methods. The Promoter hereby undertakes to (1) pay for such transactions; (2) that transactions initiated by family members are authorized; and (3) transactions will be charged to eligible payment methods in the manner specified in Section B above. Organizers are responsible for compliance with their payment method contracts and assume all risks associated with sharing access to their eligible payment methods with family members.
A receipt or invoice for each of a family member`s transactions will be sent to the initiating family member and, if charged to the organizer`s payment method, also to the organizer. Your use of our Services is subject to Apple`s Privacy Policy, available at www.apple.com/legal/privacy/. The changes follow a number of legal challenges and new regulations in some markets regarding Apple`s control over its App Store, where the company is under pressure to allow payments to third parties and increased competition. The EU and the US are considering measures to level the playing field on many fronts when it comes to app stores and the fees they charge. Do not create multiple bundle IDs of the same application. If your app has different versions for specific locations, sports teams, universities, and more, consider submitting a single app and providing the variants using an in-app purchase. Also, avoid piling on an already saturated category. The App Store already has enough fart, burps, flashlight, clairvoyance, dating and kamasutra, etc. We will reject these apps unless they provide a unique, high-quality experience. Spamming the store may result in your removal from the developer program. Alongside its global developer conference this week, Apple introduced a new set of App Store review guidelines that, surprisingly, are now easing restrictions on certain requirements that must be met for publication to the App Store. Typically, Apple updates its rules to introduce new rules or clarify existing rules for developers by adding more details.
But this week`s changes instead remove a handful of rules for subsets of apps, including lottery apps, apps used for charitable giving, apps that use location, and others. If your primary payment method is for any reason (for example, Expiration Date or Insufficient Balance), allow Apple to attempt to charge your other eligible payment methods in the downstream order displayed on your account settings payment page. If we are unable to charge you a fee, you will remain responsible for any amounts not collected, and we may attempt to charge you again or ask you to provide another payment method. If you pre-order content, you will be charged for the content when the content is delivered to you (unless you cancel before the content is available). In accordance with local laws, Apple may automatically update your payment information with respect to your payment methods when that information is provided by payment networks or your financial institutions. The conditions for credit cards and gift cards/codes can be found here: www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/giftcards/. For more information about billing transactions, see support.apple.com/HT201359. All transactions are final. Content prices are subject to change at any time. If technical problems prevent or unreasonably delay delivery of the Content, your sole and exclusive remedy is either to replace the Content or to refund the price paid as determined by Apple. From time to time, Apple may suspend or cancel payment or reject a refund request if we find evidence of fraud, abuse or illegal or other manipulative behavior that entitles Apple to a corresponding counterclaim.
Specify that you are collecting the rough location because the exact location data is immediately coarse and the exact location is not saved. For many reasons, it is important to be careful when handling children`s personal information, and we encourage you to carefully review any compliance requirements with laws such as the Children`s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), the European Union`s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and other applicable regulations or laws. Apple attaches great importance to clean, refined and user-friendly interfaces. Make sure your UI meets these requirements by carefully planning your design and following our design guides and do`s and don`ts when it comes to UI design. – All other services (including, but not limited to, iTunes Store, Apple Music, and Apple Podcasts): www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/itunesstorenotices/ you must be 13 years of age (or an equivalent minimum age in your home country as determined in the Apple ID creation process) to create an account and use our Services.
