Hi, the rules of the '26 swift student challenge state that i may not "track and/or insert analytics code in your app playground meant to identify or track judges' activity while they review your app playground". My app (with permission) uses offline CLlocation to grab location data, with improves the functionality of the app. Is this acceptable? or do i run the risk of disqualification. Thank You!
How strict is the rule on tracking
Thanks so much for the post.
This is a great question for ensuring you stay within the rules of the Swift Student Challenge.
Where do you see that rule? I read the student challenge policy and I can't find that rule so far. Can you point out the resource with that rule?

You are not at risk of disqualification for using CLLocation to power a core app feature, especially since you are processing the data.
Be transparent in your project's documentation, follow the standard iOS permission protocols, and you can be confident that you are in full compliance.
Thanks

Do you mean this rule "You track and/or insert analytics code in your app playground meant to identify or track judges' activity while they review your app playground;" from here: https://developer.apple.com/swift-student-challenge/policy/
