Has anyone else tried to select the +12 age category? It's not showing for me. The only options I get are +9-11 or +17 but not +12 which is where we would feel most comfortable. Notice in the screenshot with the +4 through to +12 category is no option to select +12. Would love some advice. Thanks

8 years old girl wants to publish her solo developed iOS App to Appstore. Unfortunately, the Apple age criteria limits this young talent to publish the app under her own name, this disappointed her at the end after many weeks of efforts. As per the discussion with developer.apple team, the only way to publish her app through her parents account. We can understand the legalities, but some how we need to recognise this girl to encourage her enthusiasm. Is there any Apple recognition for such talents, please guide.

Hello, My term and I are currently in the process of developing an app. It is not a children's app nor is it marketed to kids. We do store some user input but no personal info like name, birthday, or address. Do we need to include in our terms of use about children, such as explicitly saying the app is for adults or outlining how we protect kid's privacy?

Basically, I have a school app that students would use in class by activating themselves to the current active course, and the app should track students' actions like sending the app to the background to inactivate them. one more thing to add is that a student can lock his phone while activating himself to preserve the battery. when the phone is locked, the app is sent to the background state and then to the suspended state. The issue here is, After a while, if the user unlocks his phone, SOMETIMES user sees the home screen and when he opens the app from the app switcher, App gets relaunched (meaning the system terminates the app while the app was in the suspended state) and In that case, students can cheat the app without noticing it. I suspect Jetsam (Memory pressure) case is behind this since the app utilizes less than 50 MG of memory while in the background but can't be so sure. Is there any chance I could prevent this from happening? Are there any frameworks that could help fix that issue (being terminated while in a suspended state)?

When I am coding my app the first line of my code say that there is an error due to "expressions are not allowed at the top level" can somebody please help me.

I have a picture in my app that links to my developer page on the app store. I am about to update the app and wonder if this is actually allowed? My app was first approved in 2013.

I am creating a prototype with the new Screen Time API introduced by Apple. The issue I am facing is, Applications installed in child device is not showing in parent device with FamilyActivityPicker. It is showing in Child device and apps can be shielded from child's device. Can some one describe, how to list the apps in parent's device. Both Device are running in iOS 15.3. Both falls in same family group Child is under 13 yrs old Screen Time enabled in both device and parent device can see child in Screen Time.

I have a Mac Mini 2018 which is not presenting the ABM prompt when I bring my iPhone 12 running Apple Configuration Manager near it. This machine (which has been in use for a few years) has been wiped and has a fresh install of Monterey 12.2 on it. Upon first boot after a fresh reinstall, it goes directly to the "Select your Country or Region" screen (it completely skips the language selection prompt for some reason). I launched ACM on my iPhone 12 and sat it atop the Mac Mini for several minutes, but nothing happened. Is there something I am doing wrong? In case it matters (and knowing my luck, it probably does), I do have the T2 Security Utility configured for "Medium Security" and "Allow Booting from External Media" as I will need to roll back this machine to Catalina after the 30-day grace period completes.

Hi! I'm designing a scaled model of the solar system in Reality Composer (v1.5). When I set the position of a planet to be meters apart, it still shows up on one screen - only centimeters apart. Even more so, the sun is set to be at one end of the building (0,0,0) and Neptune at the other (584 meters away) and when I play the experience on my iPad, it is happy to let me see them on my screen at the same time. Thoughts? Thank you!

Trying to use the new Apple Configurator and I am seeing it is not going to work on any macOS device below Monterey. This was not mentioned in https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10297/ at all. Our company has not moved to Monterey and I am testing on an older device that has Big Sur.

The event threshold callbacks are inconsistent. We receive the callback 30mins to 1hour late after scheduling or it stops coming suddenly. Is there any limit how many callbacks will be coming per hour or day? Sometimes I don't get the callback at all. Sometimes it works properly for the whole day(Same code without any change). Additional note: Sometimes I don't receive the schedule start call-back but the event threshold.

How do I get my market place accepted into the Kids Category? I have submitted my app Kids Help Kids twice and it is live in the app store now, but with 17+. Both times I have submitted my app their response to the Kids Category is "Specifically, it is a marketplace". I am following all the necessary laws and my app features are similar if not the same as Vinted (also a marketplace, but is 4+). Can anyone give me any advice?

Hey, my son is 10 years old an developed a small app and now he wants to test your app on his iphone. How can we manage this? We should support our kids which wants to learn. I would recommend an kids developer Account like you provide for the student program. Thx Sebastian

Hi, recently we purchased an additional 100 ipads for our school. Unfortunately, they were purchased without my involvement under a apple business account. I need to move them to my apple school manager account so I can manage them with the current mdm and ipads in apple school manager.

Our unity gaming apps were very stable on OS versions before 14.7.1, since this version release we are observing an increase in crashes due to memory availability or access file storage. We went through release notes of 14.7.1 & other latest iOS version and didn't found any thing which can cause these issues. The unusual thing is, the same app which was excellently performing on 14.6 started to give crashes on 14.7.1 and later versions. Is there anything i am missing with respect to any changes to make apps compatible with iOS version 14.7.1 and above. We use Unity to create gaming applications and apps group capabilities too.

I managed to achieve the list of children's applications on the parent device. But I can't manage restrictions for these applications. Is it only available from the child's device or there is a solution for the app management from the parent's app?

I have a kids / education app in the store. My app is free with limited functionality and users need to buy in-app purchase option for upgrade. Recently I got some emails from school / institutions asking if they could get the upgrade version app via School Manager. It seems like it's impossible to buy in-app purchase in bulk via School Manager. (Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.) So I built and submitted a separate paid version of my app with "School Edition" added to the name and no in-app purchase. But this app got rejected with the following message. "This app duplicates the content and functionality of other apps submitted by you or another developer to the App Store, which is considered a form of spam." I replied that many other developers are doing the same approach and they are live on the app store. They gave me a short answer saying that they can't provide feedback on app concept and I need to review the guidelines. I know there have been many apps that had both Lite (free) and Pro (paid) version. And there are still many apps that have the same approach such as MathTango. MathTango https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mathtango/id1234698308 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mathtango-school-edition/id1333842226 Is there anyone else who had the similar issue or who could give some advice on this?

Dear Friends, We are developing an application for IOS, but we are challenging in a situation. We want to track usage time of other apps such as Duolingo, Tandem etc. in our application. We don't want to track application, we only aim to track usage time. Related to this, we found an API called Screen Time API, nevertheless we couldn't be sure that we are allowed to take such information. In this manner, we need your recommendations and comments about this idea and API. The app will support users to reach their aims by tracking their usage of some specific apps that are related to their targets. For instance, if a person needs to practice some language in Tandem, he or she can see Tandem usage on our app. Can we import their usage time information of the users' apps? Can we use Screen Time API to realize this target? Will we need to create a document like proposal for the AppStore team to express our aim and method?

Is there a way to tell if Screentime is ON and the user has set a Downtime or App Limit and my app was NOT on the Always Allowed list? Is there a Screentime exemption for a medical app that must always be accessible for the safety of the user?
