Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage
Hi, I have an issue with App submission. My flow is: show third party cookie consent banner (is an external SDK) show ATT Apple with this message Allowing tracking will enable more personalized ads for you. Apple says this: You collect data to track after the user selects Ask App Not to Track on the App Tracking Transparency permission request. Specifically, we noticed the app accesses web content you own and collects cookies for tracking after the user asked you not to track them. Next Steps To resolve this issue, please revise the app so that you do not collect data for tracking purposes if the user does not give permission for tracking. Alternatively, if you do not collect cookies for tracking purposes, revise the cookie prompts that appear in the app to clarify you do not track users. in the rejection they put the ATT alert and the third party banner as the screen Do you have any input on this as Apple never says things clearly about what the problem is. Thank you

Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage
Hello, We have developed an app iOS and Apple reject the second update of app (categorie NEWS) for this motivation: We still noticed that your app requires users to register or log in to access features that are not account-based. Next Steps To resolve this issue, please revise your app to let users freely access your app’s non account-based features. Apps may not require users to enter personal information to function, except when directly relevant to the core functionality of the app or required by law. You should allow users to freely access your app’s non account-based features. For example, an e-commerce app should let users browse store offerings and other features that are not account-based before being asked to register, or a restaurant app should allow users to explore the menu before placing an order. Registration must then only be required for account-specific features, such as saving items for future reference or placing an order. But I would to like answer to Apple with this motivation: The App r

How to get around asking for DOB
We are trying to publish a peer to peer sharing app. Our T&C's require the users to be at least 18 years old since there is legality around the agreements between users. Apple keeps kicking this back and stating we should not ask them their age. How do we get around this? Here's what they keep referencing: Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage 5.1.1(v) Account Sign-In If your app doesn’t include significant account-based features, let people use it without a login. If your app supports account creation, you must also offer account deletion within the app. Apps may not require users to enter personal information to function, except when directly relevant to the core functionality of the app or required by law. If your core app functionality is not related to a specific social network (e.g. Facebook, WeChat, Weibo, Twitter, etc.), you must provide access without a login or via another mechanism. Pulling basic profile information, sharing to the social network, or

Publishing App for Third Parties
I work for a company that provides services implementing, maintaining, and publishing systems for municipalities. We have now developed an app for a municipality, but when trying to publish it, Apple is rejecting it, stating that we cannot publish on behalf of another company. On the first submission, they rejected it with: Guideline 4.1 - Design - Copycats The app or its metadata appears to contain potentially misleading content. Specifically, the app includes content that resembles Sistema da Prefeitura without the necessary authorization. Next Steps Please demonstrate your relationship with any third-party brand owners represented in the app. We obtained a digitally signed document from the municipality stating that we are responsible for their systems, authorizing everything, etc... We made a new submission for review. However, it was now rejected with: Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage The app must be published under a seller and company name that is associated with

Reply to Feedback form
Feedback is critical, Critical to you or to the user ? 2 thoughts: In Europe you have to comply with GDPR regulation on privacy See guideline 5.1.1 (ii) Permission: Apps that collect user or usage data must secure user consent for the collection, even if such data is considered to be anonymous at the time of or immediately following collection. Paid functionality must not be dependent on or require a user to grant access to this data. Apps must also provide the customer with an easily accessible and understandable way to withdraw consent. Ensure your purpose strings clearly and completely describe your use of the data. Apps that collect data for a legitimate interest without consent by relying on the terms of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or similar statute must comply with all terms of that law.

Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage
**We noticed that your app collects information from various public sources to build individual profiles, which is not appropriate for the App Store. Next Steps To resolve this issue, please remove any feature that attempts to build individual profiles based on collected public data. ** I do not understand what information that I collect from various public sources to build individual profiles My app takes the image from user and process it to extract facial features and compare other faces in the app database also the user can create an account if he wants to post a missing report and I ask to input the name and gender and date of birth and other information of missing person and all of this I explain in app review But I still face this replay what to do ?

Guideline 5.1.1 (ix) requirements
While checking our application, we received the following message: We found in our review that your app does not meet all of our requirements for apps that offer highly regulated services or handle sensitive user data. Specifically: The account that submits the app must be enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an organization, and not as an individual. Can we use this clause to switch our membership to an individual entrepreneur, or is only an LLC or CJSC required?

Account Deletion Requirement in B2B apps
We'll be releasing a B2B app next year, this app will be used as part of the employees job. In guidelines section 5.1.1 (V) If your app doesn’t include significant account-based features, let people use it without a login. If your app supports account creation, you must also offer account deletion within the app. A user does not create an account through the app. An account is created for every employee by the client. A user will login via their employee id. This account is controlled by the client. Any and all data generated by the employee is owned by the client as its business data and data must be linked against whoever created (eg to pay commission to employees for the sales they made) So an account exists but the guidelines say If your app supports account creation, you must also offer account deletion within the app. Since a user cannot create an account themselves, the account deletion requirement isn't relevant here. Is my understanding of the guidelines correct? Or is there another section

Reply to Are financial/banking aggregators not allowed in the App Store?
Thanks a lot for your response. I don't think that's the point. In fact, your app accesses potentially sensitive user information. I think that's the problem. It does access it, because the company offers a free and open API to encourage third parties to do that. But keep in mind this rule is under section 5.1.1: Data Collection and Storage. My app does not collect or store anything, at all. It's merely accessing the data from a GET endpoint, showing it to the user, and discarding it. I don't even have an account or login system, or even any kind of telemetry. The user just looks at their account data through my app, with their token, then it's gone. Much like a web browser. Are we sure this rule doesn't apply only to apps that actually collect and/or store data? Reading AppStore rule, the app should be submitted by the official firm. It cannot be by an individual developer or by a company that is not a banking or financial service company. Then how do financial aggregators do it? Or regular portfoli

Reply to Query about "Sign in with Apple" and Handling "Hide My Email" Option
Hi somprabhsharma, Please review the App Store Review Guidelines for the requirements of Legal, Data Collection and Storage, and Sign in with Apple—under 5.1.1(v, ix). You may need to seek legal counsel to determine the appropriate next steps for your app based on the regulations and the compliance in your region. Note: App Store Review does not pre-approve, nor pre-review app submissions, so your developer team and/or counsel will need to submit a production-ready app for review as specified in the guidelines above. Cheers, Paris

App rejected based on 5.1.1 guidelines
My app was rejected because I use the word 'Enable' on a button, which triggers the system permissions request. I've attached below the the rejection reason, along with the screenshot they provided. I made an appeal for this rejection last week, but haven't heard anything since. So I thought I'd ask for opinions. My issue with the rejection is that not only can I not find any violation of Privacy guidelines, but the suggestion from the reviewer is worse and would be a confusing UX. My flow is a typical onboarding flow, describing features and asking for permissions up-front to ensure the app works properly from the start - something lots of apps do. Sure it could be improved but this is the first version & release. Does anyone have any thoughts on this issue, or even a better suggestion than the one the reviewer provided?

App rejected because of camera access permission. Pls help.
Hi, My app was rejected by IOS, based on Guideline 5.1.1: we still find the permission request for camera and photos is not sufficient. To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to revise these and ensure that they sufficiently explain why the app needs this access. It was my 2nd time already, I am frustrated. I asked IOS to give suggestion and it refuses. Can anyone help me if I modified my message as below: AppName would like to access your Camera Allow AppName to take your photo as profile picture. And this photo will be used in-app messaging only. AppName would like to access your Photos Library Allow AppName to capture image from your Photo Library. This image will used as your profile picture and for in-app messaging only. Thanks your help in advance

Reply to Regarding App Tracking Transparency popup and GDPR consent Promt
My question requires an interpretation of the language in 5.1.1 (iv) because I will be using the Google UMP to collect UE GDPR for my ads that are served from AdMob. Non-UE users will still default to Apple's ATT. Effective in January 2024, if GDPR consent is not fully granted, or if it is not specifically configured using Manage Options in such a way as to allow AdMob to serve ads, no ads will be delivered from AdMob. The user-interface from the Google framework is so complicated and convoluted that it will be virtually impossible for a user to define the correct configuration - even if they want to. That being the case, any selection other than Consent will effectively disable ads from AdMob; thus preventing developers (who rely on AdMob) from generating ad revenue when GDPR applies. My question is whether it is acceptable under 5.1.1 (iv) for me to restrict access to my app unless the user provides the necessary consent to meet AdMob's requirements? Would restricting the app to a limited

Reply to Jax-metal on M2 Pro does not recognize GPU
Hi, I just ran into this issue on an M1 14 MBP. I got it to install and run correctly. Instructions here. The key is for now it needs jaxlib 0.4.10 but jax 0.4.11. Jax seems to allow using a jaxlib that is one point version less, so this configuration works. The key instructions are below: # obtain JAX source code git clone https://github.com/google/jax.git --branch jaxlib-v0.4.10 --single-branch cd jax # build jaxlib from source, with capability to load plugin python build/build.py --bazel_options=--@xla//xla/python:enable_tpu=true # install jaxlib python -m pip install dist/*.whl You also need Bazel 5.1.1 to build jaxlib (it’ll give you instructions if it can’t find it) and Python 3.10 or it won’t install the jaxlib wheel. If you’re using Anaconda you’ll have to create an environment using 3.10 and not any other version. At this point it tells you to install Jax via pip, but don't do that or it will default to 0.4.10 which is the wrong version. Instead, download the zip for the source code for the
