Microsoft isn’t the only company that works with developers, developers, developers, developers, and developers. And in Apple’s case, governments are dictating the terms.
“Due to a recent court ruling lifting an injunction on Texas law SB 2420, new Apple Accounts in Texas are now subject to the law, which introduced age assurance requirements for app marketplaces and developers. As previously announced, this includes age assurance and parent or guardian consent on behalf of minors under the age of 18 for downloads, Apple In-App Purchases, and significant changes associated with an app. Parents or guardians will also be able to revoke their consent for any app they previously approved for their child.”
For those who say that these local government laws are too complex for vendors to implement…the vendors are figuring it out. Apple is specifically providing a Declared Age Range API for developer use.
And for those who don’t remember Microsoft’s commitment to developers…
