I'm developing an iOS app that uses imagePlaygroundSheet to generate images based on AI-generated prompts (not user-typed text).
I would like to confirm whether the following usage is permitted under the Apple Developer Program License Agreement:
- Generate an image using imagePlaygroundSheet within my app
- Pass the resulting image (obtained via the completion handler URL) as an input to a third-party video generation API (e.g., to create an image-to-video animation)
- Offer this video generation as a paid feature (consumable in-app purchase) within my app
I've reviewed Section 3.2(8) of the ADPLA, which prohibits using "output generated from an Apple model to train, fine-tune, or improve another artificial intelligence model." My understanding is that this clause is specifically about training/improving AI models, not about using the output image as a content input for a separate processing step (e.g., animation).
Could someone confirm:
- Whether passing imagePlaygroundSheet output to a third-party API for further processing (not training) is permitted
- Whether monetizing a feature that uses this combined output is permitted
Thank you in advance for any guidance.
