Beginning January 1, 2026, Bulgaria will adopt the euro (EUR) as its official currency, replacing the Bulgarian lev (BGN). As a result, the currency for App Store purchases and subscriptions in Bulgaria will change from BGN to EUR on this date. Your proceeds from sales in Bulgaria will also change to euros.

If you’ve selected the lev as the currency for your bank in App Store Connect, it will automatically change to the euro on December 1, 2025. If you’ve selected a different currency for your bank account, you’ll continue to be paid in that currency. The statutory fixed conversion rate is 1.95583 BGN = 1 EUR as established on July 8, 2025, by the Council of the European Union in connection with the introduction of the euro as the official currency in the Republic of Bulgaria.

• Auto-renewing subscriptions, manually priced apps and In‑App Purchases, or apps and In‑App Purchases with Bulgaria as the base storefront: Pricing on the Bulgaria storefront will be updated to a euro price based on the statutory conversion rate and rounded down to a supported euro price point. If you’ve chosen Bulgaria as the base storefront for your app or In‑App Purchases, pricing in other storefronts may be updated to maintain equalization with the new euro price.

• Other apps or In‑App Purchases: Pricing on the Bulgaria storefront will be converted to the euro using the standard equalization for euro markets where App Store sales are subject to value‑added tax (VAT).

You can change the prices of your apps, In‑App Purchases, and auto‑renewable subscriptions at any time.

Auto‑renewable subscriptions won’t be interrupted. Subscription prices will be automatically updated for each current, preserved, and future scheduled price to euros. Customers with auto‑renewable subscriptions will receive an email informing them of the currency change.

Per the Euro Act, you’ll need to communicate both the lev and euro prices for In‑App Purchases to customers within your app for the duration of the transitional period from now until the end of the transition period on August 8, 2026. This messaging should appear anywhere prices are displayed.

Your Sales and Trends reports and monthly financial reports will also be updated. For Sales and Trends, euros will be indicated for transactions after the currency change. For monthly financial reports, earnings from sales that occurred before the currency change will be in the BG report, and earnings from sales after the currency change will be in the EU report.

All refunds issued after January 1, 2026, will be refunded in euros, regardless of the date of purchase.

The App Store is designed to be a safe and trusted place for all ages, including children. The age rating system for apps and games has been updated in order to provide people with more granular age ratings. We’ve also introduced new age rating questions to help identify sensitive content in your app and added the ability to set a higher rating to reflect your app’s minimum age requirement. Ratings for all apps and games on the App Store have been automatically updated to align with this new system and will be reflected on Apple devices running beta versions of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, tvOS 26, visionOS 26, and watchOS 26.

The updated age rating system adds 13+, 16+, and 18+ to the existing 4+ and 9+ ratings. Age ratings are assigned to each country or region and may vary based on region-specific suitability standards.

We’ve introduced a new set of required questions to the ratings questionnaire for all apps. These new questions cover:

• In-app controls.
• Capabilities.
• Medical or wellness topics.
• Violent themes in your app or game.

Your answers to these questions will help Apple better calculate a rating and help you deliver an age-appropriate experience.

If your app has a policy requiring a higher minimum user age than the rating assigned by Apple, you can set a higher age rating after you respond to the age ratings questions. You can view the age rating for each of your apps under the updated system and respond to the new questions for each app in the App Information section in App Store Connect.

As a reminder, you must consider how all app features, including AI assistants and chatbot functionality, impact the frequency of sensitive content appearing within your app to make sure it receives the appropriate rating. All apps are subject to the App Review Guidelines, such as the safety guidelines regarding objectionable content or user generated content, and must abide by all applicable local laws and regulations, like the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

Please provide responses to the updated age rating questions for each of your apps by January 31, 2026, to avoid an interruption when submitting your app updates in App Store Connect.

Beginning April 2026, watchOS apps uploaded to App Store Connect must also include 64-bit support and be built with the watchOS 26 SDK.

You can test ARM64 compatibility for your apps in the Xcode Simulator, and on Apple Watch Series 9 or 10, or Apple Watch Ultra 2 running watchOS 26 beta.

Additional upcoming changes

Beginning August 4:

All auto-renewable subscription price increases in Austria, Germany, and Poland will require customers to consent to the new price for their subscription to continue renewing.

• Price increases scheduled with a start date on or after August 4: All customers must consent to the new price. If a subscriber doesn’t agree to the new price or takes no action, Apple will continue to request consent approximately weekly through email, push notifications, and in-app messaging until their subscription expires at the end of their current billing cycle.

• Price increases scheduled with a start date before August 4: Current notice criteria will remain in effect, even if the renewal occurs after August 4 (for annual subscriptions, renewal could be as late as August 2026). See criteria, noting that consent may apply to customers depending on the size or velocity of your price increases.

To help ensure a smooth transition, we recommend avoiding scheduling price increases with a start date between August 2 and August 4.

You can now take advantage of upgraded security options when creating new token authentication keys for the Apple Push Notification service (APNs).

Team-scoped keys enable you to restrict your token authentication keys to either development or production environments, providing an additional layer of security and ensuring that keys are used only in their intended environments.

Topic-specific keys provide more granular control by enabling you to associate each key with a specific bundle ID, allowing for more streamlined and organized key management. This is particularly beneficial for large organizations that manage multiple apps across different teams.

Your existing keys will continue to work for all push topics and environments. At this time, you don’t have to update your keys unless you want to take advantage of the new capabilities.

For detailed instructions on how to secure your communications with APNs, read Establishing a token-based connection to APNs.

As a result of last year’s change in Japan’s tax regulations, Apple (through iTunes K.K. in Japan) is now designated as a Specified Platform Operator by the Japan tax authority. All paid apps and In-App Purchases, (including game items, such as coins) sold by non-Japan-based developers on the App Store in Japan will be subject to the platform tax regime. Apple will collect and remit a 10% Japanese consumption tax (JCT) to the National Tax Agency JAPAN on such transactions at the time of purchase. Your proceeds will be adjusted accordingly.

Please note any prepaid payment instruments (such as coins) sold prior to April 1, 2025, will not be subject to platform taxation, and the relevant JCT compliance should continue to be managed by the developer.

For specific information on how the JCT affects in-game items, see Question 7 in the Tax Agency of Japan’s Q&A about Platform Taxation of Consumption Tax.

As part of ongoing efforts to improve security and privacy on Apple platforms, the App Store receipt signing intermediate certificate is being updated to use the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm. This certificate is used to sign App Store receipts, which are the proof of purchase for apps and In-App Purchases.

This update is being completed in multiple phases and some existing apps on the App Store may be impacted by the next update, depending on how they verify receipts.

Starting January 24, 2025, if your app performs on-device receipt validation and doesn’t support the SHA-256 algorithm, your app will fail to validate the receipt. If your app prevents customers from accessing the app or premium content when receipt validation fails, your customers may lose access to their content.

If your app performs on-device receipt validation, update your app to support certificates that use the SHA-256 algorithm; alternatively, use the AppTransaction and Transaction APIs to verify App Store transactions.

For more details, view TN3138: Handling App Store receipt signing certificate changes.

Starting next month, Apple will change the supported algorithms that secure server connections for Apple Pay on the Web. In order to maintain uninterrupted service, you’ll need to ensure that your production servers support one or more of the designated six ciphers before February 4, 2025.

These algorithm changes will affect any secure connection you’ve established as part of your Apple Pay integration, including the following touchpoints:

• Requesting an Apple Pay payment session (Apple Pay on the Web only)
• Renewing your domain verification (Apple Pay on the Web only)
• Receiving and handling merchant token notifications for recurring, deferred, and automatic-reload transactions (Apple Pay on the Web and in app)
• Creating and updating Wallet Orders (Apple Pay on the Web and in app)
• Managing merchant onboarding via the Apple Pay Web Merchant Registration API (payment service provider (PSP) and e-commerce platforms only)

The App Store is designed to make it easy to sell your digital goods and services globally, with support for 44 currencies across 175 storefronts.

From time to time, we may need to adjust prices or your proceeds due to changes in tax regulations or foreign exchange rates. These adjustments are made using publicly available exchange rate information from financial data providers to help make sure prices for apps and In-App Purchases stay consistent across all storefronts.

Price updates

On June 21, pricing for apps and In-App Purchases¹ will be updated for the Egypt, Ivory Coast, Nepal, Nigeria, Suriname, and Zambia storefronts if you haven’t selected one of these as the base for your app or In‑App Purchase.¹ These updates also consider the following value‑added tax (VAT) changes:

• Ivory Coast: VAT introduction of 18%
• Nepal: VAT introduction of 13% and digital services tax of 2%
• Suriname: VAT introduction of 10%
• Zambia: VAT introduction of 16%

Prices won’t change on the Egypt, Ivory Coast, Nepal, Nigeria, Suriname, or Zambia storefront if you’ve selected that storefront as the base for your app or In-App Purchase.¹ Prices on other storefronts will be updated to maintain equalization with your chosen base price.

Prices won’t change in any region if your In‑App Purchase is an auto‑renewable subscription and won’t change on the storefronts where you manually manage prices instead of using the automated equalized prices.

The Pricing and Availability section of Apps has been updated in App Store Connect to display these upcoming price changes. As always, you can change the prices of your apps, In‑App Purchases, and auto‑renewable subscriptions at any time.

The Apple Developer Forums have been redesigned for WWDC24 to help developers connect with Apple experts, engineers, and each other to find answers and get advice.

Apple Developer Relations and Apple engineering are joining forces to field your questions and work to solve your technical issues. You’ll have access to an expanded knowledge base and enjoy quick response times — so you can get back to creating and enhancing your app or game. Plus, Apple Developer Program members now have priority access to expert advice on the forums.

Check out the new forums

The App Store was created to be a safe place for users to discover and get millions of apps all around the world. Over the years, we‘ve built many critical privacy and security features that help protect users and give them transparency and control — from Privacy Nutrition Labels to app tracking transparency, and so many more.

An essential requirement of maintaining user trust is that developers are responsible for all of the code in their apps, including code frameworks and libraries from other sources. That‘s why we’ve created privacy manifests and signature requirements for the most popular third-party SDKs, as well as required reasons for covered APIs.

Starting May 1, 2024, new or updated apps that have a newly added third-party SDK that‘s on the list of commonly used third-party SDKs will need all of the following to be submitted in App Store Connect:

1. Required reasons for each listed API
2. Privacy manifests
3. Valid signatures when the SDK is added as a binary dependency

Apps won’t be accepted if they fail to meet the manifest and signature requirements. Apps also won’t be accepted if all of the following apply:

1. They’re missing a reason for a listed API
2. The code is part of a dynamic framework embedded via the Embed Frameworks build phase
3. The framework is a newly added third-party SDK that’s on the list of commonly used third-party SDKs

In the future, these required reason requirements will expand to include the entire app binary. If you’re not using an API for an approved reason, please find an alternative. These changes are designed to help you better understand how third-party SDKs use data, secure software dependencies, and provide additional privacy protection for users.

This is a step forward for all apps and we encourage all SDKs to adopt this functionality to better support the apps that depend on them.

Web Distribution lets authorized developers distribute their iOS apps to users in the European Union (EU) directly from a website owned by the developer. Apple will provide developers access to APIs that facilitate the distribution of their apps from the web, integrate with system functionality, and back up and restore users’ apps, once they meet certain requirements designed to help protect users and platform integrity. For details, visit Getting started with Web Distribution in the EU.

To align with the Digital Services Act (DSA) in the European Union (EU), Account Holders and Admins in the Apple Developer Program can now enter their trader status in App Store Connect.

Submission requirements

You’ll need to let us know whether or not you’re a trader to submit new apps to the App Store. If you’re a trader, you may be asked for documentation that verifies your trader contact information.

We’re expanding the analytics available for your apps to help you get even more insight into your business and apps’ performance.

Over 50 new reports are now available through the App Store Connect API to help you analyze your apps’ App Store and iOS performance. These reports include hundreds of new metrics that can enable you to evaluate your performance and find opportunities for improvement. Reports are organized into the following categories:

• App Store Engagement — the number of users on the App Store interacting with a developer’s app or sharing it with others
• App Store Commerce — downloads, sales, pre-orders, and transactions made with the secure App Store In-App Purchase system
• App Usage — active devices, installs, app deletions, and more
• Frameworks Usage — an app’s interaction with OS capabilities, such as PhotoPicker and Widgets
• Performance — how your apps perform and how users interact with specific features

Additionally, new reports are also available through the CloudKit console with data about Apple Push Notifications and File Provider.

• Apple Push Notifications — notification states as they pass through the Apple Push Notification service (APNs)
• File Provider — usage, consistency, and error data

You can now submit your apps and games built with Xcode 15.3 and all the latest SDKs for iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4, macOS 14.4, tvOS 17.4, visionOS 1.1, and watchOS 10.4.

Developers who have agreed to the Alternative Terms Addendum for Apps in the EU can now submit apps offering alternative payment options in the EU. They can also now measure the number of first annual installs their apps have accumulated.

If you’d like to discuss changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store impacting apps in the EU to comply with the Digital Markets Act, request a 30-minute online consultation with an Apple team member.

Developers are responsible for all code included in their apps. At WWDC23, we introduced new privacy manifests and signatures for commonly used third-party SDKs and announced that developers will need to declare approved reasons for using a set of APIs in their app’s privacy manifest. These changes help developers better understand how third-party SDKs use data, secure software dependencies, and provide additional privacy protection for users.

Starting March 13: If you upload a new or updated app to App Store Connect that uses an API requiring approved reasons, we’ll send you an email letting you know if you’re missing reasons in your app’s privacy manifest. This is in addition to the existing notification in App Store Connect.

Starting May 1: You’ll need to include approved reasons for the listed APIs used by your app’s code to upload a new or updated app to App Store Connect. If you’re not using an API for an allowed reason, please find an alternative. And if you add a new third-party SDK that’s on the list of commonly used third-party SDKs, these API, privacy manifest, and signature requirements will apply to that SDK. Make sure to use a version of the SDK that includes its privacy manifest and note that signatures are also required when the SDK is added as a binary dependency.

This functionality is a step forward for all apps and we encourage all SDKs to adopt it to better support the apps that depend on them.

Submit in App Store Connect

iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4, macOS 14.4, tvOS 17.4, visionOS 1.1, and watchOS 10.4 will soon be available to customers worldwide. Build your apps and games using the Xcode 15.3 Release Candidate and latest SDKs, then test them using TestFlight. You can submit your iPhone and iPad apps today.

New analytics reports coming in March for developers everywhere

Developers can also enable new sign-in options for their apps

Today, Apple is introducing new options for how apps globally can deliver in-app experiences to users, including streaming games and mini-programs. Developers can now submit a single app with the capability to stream all of the games offered in their catalog.

Apps will also be able to provide enhanced discovery opportunities for streaming games, mini-apps, mini-games, chatbots, and plug-ins that are found within their apps.

Additionally, mini-apps, mini-games, chatbots, and plug-ins will be able to incorporate Apple’s In-App Purchase system to offer their users paid digital content or services for the first time, such as a subscription for an individual chatbot.

Each experience made available in an app on the App Store will be required to adhere to all App Store Review Guidelines and its host app will need to maintain an age rating of the highest age-rated content included in the app.

The changes Apple is announcing reflect feedback from Apple’s developer community and is consistent with the App Store’s mission to provide a trusted place for users to find apps they love and developers everywhere with new capabilities to grow their businesses. Apps that host this content are responsible for ensuring all the software included in their app meets Apple’s high standards for user experience and safety.

New app analytics

Apple provides developers with powerful dashboards and reports to help them measure their apps’ performance through App Analytics, Sales and Trends, and Payments and Financial Reports. Today, Apple is introducing new analytics for developers everywhere to help them get even more insight into their businesses and their apps’ performance, while maintaining Apple’s long-held commitment to ensure users are not identifiable at an individual level.

Over 50 new reports will be available through the App Store Connect API to help developers analyze their app performance and find opportunities for improvement with more metrics in areas like:

Engagement — with additional information on the number of users on the App Store interacting with a developer’s app or sharing it with others;

Commerce — with additional information on downloads, sales and proceeds, pre-orders, and transactions made with the App Store’s secure In-App Purchase system;

App usage — with additional information on crashes, active devices, installs, app deletions, and more.

Frameworks usage — with additional information on an app’s interaction with OS functionality such as PhotoPicker, Widgets, and CarPlay.

Additional information about report details and access will be available for developers in March.

Developers will have the ability to grant third-party access to their reports conveniently through the API.

More flexibility for sign in options in apps

In line with Apple’s mission to protect user privacy, Apple is updating its App Store Review Guideline for using Sign in with Apple. Sign in with Apple makes it easy for users to sign in to apps and websites using their Apple ID and was built from the ground up with privacy and security in mind. Starting today, developers that offer third-party or social login services within their app will have the option to offer Sign in with Apple, or they will now be able to offer an equivalent privacy-focused login service instead.

The App Store Review Guidelines have been revised to support updated policies, upcoming features, and to provide clarification. We’ve added notations to all guidelines to indicate which guidelines only apply to Notarization for iOS apps in EU, and which guidelines additionally apply to apps distributed on the App Store.

Apple Vision Pro will have a brand-new App Store, where people can discover and download incredible apps for visionOS. Whether you’ve created a new visionOS app or are making your existing iPad or iPhone app available on Apple Vision Pro, here’s everything you need to know to prepare and submit your app to the App Store.

Third-party SDK privacy manifest and signatures. Third-party software development kits (SDKs) can provide great functionality for apps; they can also have the potential to impact user privacy in ways that aren’t obvious to developers and users. As a reminder, when you use a third-party SDK with your app, you are responsible for all the code the SDK includes in your app, and need to be aware of its data collection and use practices.

At WWDC23, we introduced new privacy manifests and signatures for SDKs to help app developers better understand how third-party SDKs use data, secure software dependencies, and provide additional privacy protection for users. Starting in spring 2024, if your new app or app update submission adds a third-party SDK that is commonly used in apps on the App Store, you’ll need to include the privacy manifest for the SDK. Signatures are also required when the SDK is used as a binary dependency. This functionality is a step forward for all apps, and we encourage all SDKs to adopt it to better support the apps that depend on them.

New use cases for APIs that require reasons. When you upload a new app or app update to App Store Connect that uses an API (including from third-party SDKs) that requires a reason, you’ll receive a notice if you haven’t provided an approved reason in your app’s privacy manifest. Based on the feedback we received from developers, the list of approved reasons has been expanded to include additional use cases. If you have a use case that directly benefits users that isn’t covered by an existing approved reason, submit a request for a new reason to be added.

Starting in spring 2024, in order to upload your new app or app update to App Store Connect, you’ll be required to include an approved reason in the app’s privacy manifest which accurately reflects how your app uses the API.
