Updated App Review Guidelines are now available

What changed

The App Review Guidelines have been revised to support new features, updated policies, and to provide clarification.

Why it matters for App Store teams

Check the named rule against your app's behavior, disclosures and listing. Record any necessary changes before the next submission; an announcement alone does not imply your app is noncompliant.

Recommended follow-up

Editorial recommendations, not additional Apple requirements or a prediction of ranking changes.

1. Read Apple's original “Updated App Review Guidelines are now available” announcement and record the affected platforms, storefronts and any effective date.
2. Check the named rule against your app's behavior, disclosures and listing. Record any necessary changes before the next submission; an announcement alone does not imply your app is noncompliant.
3. Assign an owner, record the baseline and verify the affected flow. Treat subsequent ranking or rating changes as observations, not proof that this announcement caused them.
