On June 30, Apple will introduce the new requirements of the App Store. The first is that developers require easy deletion of the account along with personal data stored within any application that asks users to create a personal account. The second requirement is that online payment group services use the payment system in the Apple application.
Apple introduced a number of App Store requirements during WWDC 2021. After WWDC 2022, Apple makes sure that all developers are prepared to properly support these new App Store policies. On a developer support page, Apple describes the new requirements for a simplified method of deleting accounts, as seen by The Verge.
As of June 30, the App Store 5.1.1 (v) Review Guideline will be updated to enforce the two new rules. Apple claims that users should be able to easily find the option to delete the account within an application. It is also said that if the app offers “Sign in with Apple”, the developers “use the Sign-in REST API with Apple a lot to revoke user testimonials”. The new policy requires third-party developers to delete the user account along with stored personal data. “It is insufficient to provide only the ability to temporarily deactivate or temporarily deactivate an account,” says Apple.
The second requirement for group services is for applications that offer classes and events. This rule was first revealed by the company in 2020, but was delayed several times during the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier, Apple was aiming for a release on January 22, but once again delayed it to give developers more time to update their apps.
Apple has confirmed that its presentation of WWDC 2022 will begin on June 6 at 13:00 ET / 10:00 PT.
