- As App Review Guidelines da Apple foram atualizadas para cumprir a decisão de um tribunal dos Estados Unidos relacionada a botões, links externos e outros textos de chamada para ação nos apps
- A mudança afeta apps distribuídos na vitrine dos Estados Unidos da App Store e está refletida nas atualizações das diretrizes 3.1.1, 3.1.1(a), 3.1.3 e 3.1.3(a)
Partes alteradas
- 3.1.1 Apps may allow users to browse NFT collections owned by others, provided that, except for apps on the United States storefront, the apps may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchase.
- 3.1.1(a) Link to Other Purchase Methods : Developers may apply for entitlements to provide a link in their app to a website the developer owns or maintains responsibility for in order to purchase digital content or services. These entitlements are not required for developers to include buttons, external links, or others calls to action in their United States storefront apps.
- StoreKit External Purchase Link Entitlements: In all other storefronts, except for the United States storefront, where this prohibition does not apply, apps and their metadata may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchase.
- 3.1.3 Other Purchase Methods: The following apps may use purchase methods other than in-app purchase. Apps in this section cannot, within the app, encourage users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase, except for apps on the United States storefront and as set forth in 3.1.1(a) and 3.1.3(a). Developers can send communications outside of the app to their user base about purchasing methods other than in-app purchase.
- 3.1.3(a) “Reader” Apps: Apps may allow a user to access previously purchased content or content subscriptions (specifically: magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, and video). Reader apps may offer account creation for free tiers, and account management functionality for existing customers. Reader app developers may apply for the External Link Account Entitlement to provide an informational link in their app to a web site the developer owns or maintains responsibility for in order to create or manage an account. This entitlement is not required for developers to include buttons, external links, or other calls to action in their United States storefront apps.
