Some features and technologies that are not generally available to developers may be offered as an entitlement for limited use cases.You are responsible for making sure everything in your app complies with these guidelines, including ad networks, analytics services, and third-party SDKs, so review and choose them carefully.If you attempt to cheat the system (for example, by trying to trick the review process, steal user data, copy another developer’s work, manipulate ratings or App Store discovery) your apps will be removed from the store and you will be expelled from the Apple Developer Program.And we think that you will also know it when you cross it. What line, you ask? Well, as a Supreme Court Justice once said, “I’ll know it when I see it”.

We will reject apps for any content or behavior that we believe is over the line.

The App Store is always changing and improving to keep up with the needs of our customers and our products. On the following pages you will find our latest guidelines arranged into five clear sections: Safety, Performance, Business, Design, and Legal. If the App Store model and guidelines are not best for your app or business idea that’s okay, we provide Safari for a great web experience too. For everything else there is always the open Internet. We do this by offering a highly curated App Store where every app is reviewed by experts and an editorial team helps users discover new apps every day. The guiding principle of the App Store is simple-we want to provide a safe experience for users to get apps and a great opportunity for all developers to be successful.
