Families / Designed for Families: only if you really target children; it changes the ad SDK setup (certified networks,

no ad id). If you leave children out, the policy and the ad mediation must say "not directed at children" too.

Expected: PEGI 3, ESRB Everyone, USK 0, IARC 3+. Apple age rating 4+ (all content questions None; ads are declared as
|
|
"advertising: true", which does not change 4+).
|
|
|
|
## App Store (UI-only parts)
|
|
|
|
- App record: App Store Connect > Apps > + > New App (https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps) (platform, name, primary language, bundle id, SKU). No API.
|
|
- App Privacy: `app-privacy.md`, then **Publish**.
|
|
- Export compliance (export-compliance skill): `ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = NO` in Info.plist only if true (HTTPS / OS encryption only) so
|
|
every build skips the question.
|
|
- First in-app purchases: from the IAP page "Add for Review" into the draft submission with the version (see the
|
|
store-iap-setup skill).
|
|
- Guideline 5.1.1: the privacy policy link must also be reachable **inside the app** (Settings > Privacy).
|
|
|
|
## Ads
|
|
|
|
- app-ads.txt at the root of the developer website named in both listings (`https://example.com/app-ads.txt`),
|
|
with the mediation's DIRECT line plus each network's lines.
|
|
- iOS: SKAdNetwork ids of every network in Info.plist, ATT prompt before the ad SDK starts.
|
|
- EU / EEA / UK / CH: consent (CMP) or non-personalized ads.
