While we’re providing these tools to help developers navigate the evolving legal landscape, Apple remains concerned about the potential implications of laws like SB2420 in Texas. Specifically, we worry they could undermine the privacy of all users by requiring the collection of sensitive personal information just to download an app – even those that simply provide weather forecasts or sports scores.
 
Enhancements to help you submit and market your apps and games - Apple Developer Wed, 29 Oct 2025 13:00:28 GMT
As part of our ongoing commitment to helping developers succeed on the App Store, we’re introducing new options for submitting content and updates while your app is in review, double the number of custom product pages, and offer codes for all In-App Purchase types.
 
New requirement for apps using Sign in with Apple for account creation - Apple Developer Thu, 09 Oct 2025 12:00:09 GMT
Starting January 1, 2026, developers based in the Republic of Korea must provide a server‑to‑server notification endpoint when registering a new Services ID, or updating an existing Services ID, to associate their website with an app using Sign in with Apple.
 
New requirements for apps available in Texas - Apple Developer Wed, 08 Oct 2025 12:00:09 GMT
Beginning January 1, 2026, a new state law in Texas — SB2420 — introduces age assurance requirements for app marketplaces and developers. While we share the goal of strengthening kids’ online safety, we are concerned that SB2420 impacts the privacy of users by requiring the collection of sensitive, personally identifiable information to download any app, even if a user simply wants to check the weather or sports scores. Apple will continue to provide parents and developers with industry-leading tools that help enhance child safety while safeguarding privacy within the constraints of the law.
