Apple App Store Guidelines.
- Safety and Privacy: Apps must respect user privacy and security. They should clearly explain data usage and obtain user consent for data collection, and apps should not transmit sensitive user data without proper encryption.
- User Interface: Apps should have intuitive and clear user interfaces, offering a consistent and polished experience. They should not mimic system interfaces or deceive users.
- Functionality: Apps should provide valuable and meaningful functionality to users. Simple or minimal apps might be rejected if they don’t offer sufficient usefulness.
- In-App Purchases: If an app includes in-app purchases, these should be clearly explained to users before they make a purchase. Apps offering digital goods or services must use Apple’s in-app purchase system for transactions.
- Performance: Apps should be stable, fast, and responsive. They must not use excessive memory, CPU, or battery resources.
- App Store Review Process: Apps should adhere to the App Store Review Guidelines. Developers should ensure their apps don’t contain prohibited content, and they should avoid any manipulation of the review process.
- Legal Requirements: Apps must comply with all applicable laws and regulations. They should not infringe on intellectual property rights, use unauthorized trademarks, or engage in fraudulent or deceptive practices.
- Advertising and Monetization: Apps with ads must display them appropriately and not interrupt the user experience. Apps must not generate fraudulent ad impressions or clicks.
- App Store Metadata: App metadata, including app names, descriptions, screenshots, and previews, should accurately represent the app’s functionality. Misleading or exaggerated information is not allowed.
- Developer Identity: Developers must provide accurate and verifiable information about their identity. Misrepresentation of developer information can lead to app rejection.
Please note that these guidelines are not exhaustive, and Apple may have introduced new guidelines or made changes to existing ones since my last update. Always refer to the official Apple Developer guidelines for the most accurate and current information.
