# MarketplaceKitError.ageRatingExceptionNotNeeded

An error that indicates the app requests an unnecessary age-rating exception.

```
case ageRatingExceptionNotNeeded
```

## Discussion

The framework throws this error if your app sets [`requestAgeException`](/documentation/MarketplaceKit/InstallMetadata/requestAgeException) to `true` when it’s not needed — that is, when the app to install has an age rating that’s within the allowed range for the device (as determined by [`maximumAllowedAgeRating`](/documentation/MarketplaceKit/AppLibrary/maximumAllowedAgeRating)).
