# requestAgeException

A Boolean value that indicates whether the person needs approval to install the app.

```
var requestAgeException: Bool
```

## Discussion

Set this property to `true` if the app to install has an age rating beyond the maximum allowed for the device (see [`maximumAllowedAgeRating`](/documentation/MarketplaceKit/AppLibrary/maximumAllowedAgeRating)). Instead of installing the app, the framework presents a sheet that enables the person to send an installation exception request to the parent or guardian. For more information, see [Providing age-rating appropriate content](/documentation/marketplacekit/providing-age-rating-appropriate-content).

If your app sets this property to `true` when it’s not needed, the framework throws [`MarketplaceKitError.ageRatingExceptionNotNeeded`](/documentation/MarketplaceKit/MarketplaceKitError/ageRatingExceptionNotNeeded). Alternatively, if your app fails to set this property to `true` when it is needed, the framework throws  [`MarketplaceKitError.cancelled`](/documentation/MarketplaceKit/MarketplaceKitError/cancelled).
