2016년 6월 - 앱스토어 심사기준 지침 및 마이그레이션 가이드

애플 앱스토어 심사지침은 2010년 9월부터 공개되어 2016년 6월 13일에 전면적으로 개정되었기에 중요 내용을 번역한 것이다. 기존 내용에 비하면 크게 차이는 없지만 몇개 카테고리가 정리되었고 Mac App Store와의 통합으로 구성 형태가 많이 바뀌었다.작성된 스타일도 will be rejected에서 설명내용 비중이 높아진 느낌이다.

 App Store Review Guidelines

이번 개정 내용에는 새로운 정보 위주로 정리하지만, 대부분이 제약이 늘어나지 않고 명시되었다는 것이 알맞다. 번역은 개인적으로 의역한 부분도 있기 때문에 되도록 원문을 참조하기 바란다.

1. Safety

앱스토어의 안전성을 유지하기 위해 다음을 주의하자.

When people install an app from the App Store, they want to feel confident that it’s safe to do so—that the app doesn’t contain upsetting or offensive content, won’t damage their device, and isn’t likely to cause physical harm from its use. We’ve outlined the major pitfalls below, but if you’re looking to shock and offend people, the App Store isn’t the right place for your app.

1.1 불쾌감을 주는 내용

불쾌한 콘텐츠는 불가함 예:

Apps should not include content that is offensive, insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust, or in exceptionally poor taste. Examples of such content include:

(이전 16.1/16.2가 이에 해당함)

1.1.1 종교, 인종, 성적취향 성별이나 특정 개인이나 단체 비방, 정치풍자 및 유머는 제외한다.

Defamatory or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, or other targeted groups, particularly if the app is likely to place a targeted individual or group in harm’s way. Professional political satirists and humorists are generally exempt from this requirement.

(이전 19.1/14/1/14/2가 이에 해당, Sexual oriemtation, gender 신규추가됨)

1.1.2 사람이나 동물의 살상 묘사, 게임에서 상대방이 특정 인종, 문화, 실제 단체일 경우

Realistic portrayals of people or animals being killed, maimed, tortured, or abused, or content that encourages violence. “Enemies” within the context of a game cannot solely target a specific race, culture, real government, corporation, or any other real entity.

(이전 15.1/15.2/15.3이 이에 해당)

1.1.3 무기의 불법 사용과 구매를 조장하는 묘사

Depictions that encourage illegal or reckless use of weapons and dangerous objects, or facilitate the purchase of firearms.

(이전 15.4가 이에 해당, facilitate the purchase of firearms 신규추가됨)

1.1.4 포르노 표현

Overtly sexual or pornographic material, defined by Webster’s Dictionary as “explicit descriptions or displays of sexual organs or activities intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings.”

(이전 18.1이 이에 해당)

1.1.5 잘못된 종교표현

Inflammatory religious commentary or inaccurate or misleading quotations of religious texts.

(이전 19.2가 이에 해당)

1.1.6 잘못된 장치 데이터와 가짜 기능, 전화 및 SMS/MMS의 익명화

False information and features, including inaccurate device data or trick/joke functionality, such as fake location trackers. Stating that the app is “for entertainment purposes” won’t overcome this guideline. Apps that enable anonymous or prank phone calls or SMS/MMS messaging will be rejected.

(이전 2.19/2.14/22.6이 이에 해당)

 

1.2 사용자 생성 컨텐츠

사용자가 올리는형태의 앱에서 악용을 막기위한 필수사항:

Apps with user-generated content present particular challenges, ranging from intellectual property infringement to anonymous bullying. To prevent abuse, apps with user-generated content or social networking services must include:

• 필터링 기능

A method for filtering objectionable material from being posted to the app

(신규 규제)

포르노와 괴롭힘을 위해 사용되는 사용자가 올리는 형태의 앱은 예고없이 삭제되며 웹기반 게시물은 탈퇴형태로 표시 가능

Apps with user-generated content or services that end up being used primarily for pornographic content, objectification of real people (e.g. “hot-or-not” voting), making physical threats, or bullying do not belong on the App Store and may be removed without notice. If your app includes user-generated content from a web-based service, it may display incidental mature “NSFW” content, provided that the content is hidden by default and only displayed when the user turns it on via your website.

(이전 18.2가 이에 해당)

 

1.3 키즈 카테고리

키즈 카테고리의 앱은 어린이를 위해 최적화한다. 외부 링크 및 과금의 경우 부모 승인이 필요하다. 카테고리 변경후에도 요구사항에 따라 키즈 카테고리 요구사항에 따라 변경된다.

The Kids Category is a great way for people to easily find apps that are appropriate for children. If you want to participate in the Kids Category, you should focus on creating a great experience specifically for younger users. These apps must not include links out of the app, purchasing opportunities, or other distractions to kids unless reserved for a designated area behind a parental gate. Keep in mind that once customers expect your app to follow the Kids Category requirements, it will need to continue to meet these guidelines in subsequent updates, even if you decide to deselect the category. Learn more about parental gates.

(이전 24.4/24.3이 이에 해당)

키즈 카테고리의 앱에 포함된 광고는 행동추적하지 않고 적절한 것을 제공한다. 어린이부터 온라인 데이터수집은 전세계의 개인정보 보호법령에 주의한다.

Apps in the Kids Category may not include behavioral advertising (e.g. the advertiser may not serve ads based on the user’s activity), and any contextual ads must be appropriate for young audiences. You should also pay particular attention to privacy laws around the world relating to the collection of data from children online. Be sure to review the Privacy section of these guidelines for more information.

For example, apps should not encourage placing the device under a mattress or pillow while charging. Review device documentation.

(이전 13.1/13.3이 이에 해당)

 

1.5 Developer Information(개발자 정보)

지원 링크의 도선은 단순화하고 정확하고 최신이 아닌 연락처 정보는 국가에 따라 법률위반이다.  Wallet 패스는 게시자의 연락처 및 소유자 서명이 필요하다.

People need to know how to reach you with questions and support issues. Make sure your Support URL includes an easy way to reach you. Failure to include accurate and up-to-date contact information not only frustrates customers, but may violate the law in some countries. Also ensure that Wallet passes include valid contact information from the issuer and are signed with a dedicated certificate assigned to the brand or trademark owner of the pass.

(상단 내용은 신규추가됨, 뒷내용은 이전 23.2/23.3에 해당)

Submissions to App Review should be final versions with all necessary metadata and fully functional URLs included; placeholder text, empty websites, and other temporary content should be scrubbed before submission. Make sure your app has been tested on-device for bugs and stability before you submit it, and include demo account info (and turn on your back-end service!) if your app includes a login. If you offer in-app purchases in your app, make sure they are complete, up-to-date, and visible to the reviewer, or that you explain why not in your review notes. Please don’t treat App Review as a software testing service. We will reject incomplete app bundles and binaries that crash or exhibit obvious technical problems.

(이전 3.12/3.2/2.1/2.2에 해당, demo account, review note 관련 신규추가됨)

2.2. 베타 테스트

Demos, betas, and trial versions of your app don’t belong on the App Store – use TestFlight instead. Any app submitted for beta distribution via TestFlight should be intended for public distribution and should comply with the App Review Guidelines. Note, however, that apps using TestFlight cannot be distributed to testers in exchange for compensation of any kind, including as a reward for crowd-sourced funding. Significant updates to your beta build should be submitted to TestFlight App Review before being distributed to your testers. To learn more, visit the TestFlight Beta Testing.

2.3.1 숨겨진 기능은 불가하며 악성위반은 개발자등록을 말소한다. 즉 앱에 숨긴 기능이나 문서화하지 않는 기능을 포함하지 말라는 내용이다.

Don’t include any hidden or undocumented features in your app; your app’s functionality should be clear to end-users and App Review. Egregious or repeated behavior is grounds for removal from the Developer Program. We work hard to make the App Store a trustworthy ecosystem and expect our app developers to follow suit; if you’re dishonest, we don’t want to do business with you.

(이전 2.4에 해당, removal from the Developer program신규추가됨)

Screenshots should show the app in use, and not merely the title art, log-in page, or splash screen.

(새로운 규제)

2.3.4 미리보기는 앱 화면캡쳐를 제한하며 나레이션 및 자막을 추가할 수 있다.

Previews are a great way for customers to see what your app looks like and what it does. To ensure people understand what they’ll be getting with your app, previews may only use video screen captures of the app itself. You can add narration and video or textual overlays to help explain anything that isn’t clear from the video alone.

(이전 3.14에 해당, to help explain anything that is not clear 신규추가됨)

2.3.5 앱의 카테고리는 알맞게 선택한다. 부적절한 경우 변경될 수 있다.

2.3.7 독특한 앱이름과 정확한 키워드를 지정해야 한다. 부적절한 키워드는 애플사에 의해 변경된다.

2.3.8 아이콘 및 스크린샷 미리보기 4+ 등급을 준수한다. 각종 앱이름과 아이콘은 혼란이 없도록 통일한다.

Metadata should be appropriate for all audiences, so make sure your icons, screenshots, and previews adhere to a 4+ age rating even if your app is rated higher. For example, if your app is a game that includes violence, select images that don’t depict a gruesome death or a gun pointed at a specific character. Remember to ensure your metadata, including app name and icons (small, large, Apple Watch app, etc.), are similar to avoid creating confusion.

(이전 3.4/3.5/3.6에 해당)

2.3.9 전체 소재의 사용권한을 확보한다. 실재 인물정보는 소설 대용이다.

3. 사업

막연한 비즈니스 모델은 설명을 하고 가격은 적절하게 설정한다. 부적절한 고액의 앱은 기각한다.

There are many ways to monetize your app on the App Store. If your business model isn’t obvious, make sure to explain in its metadata and App Review notes. If we can’t understand how your app works or your in-app purchases aren’t immediately obvious, it will delay your review and may trigger a rejection. And while pricing is up to you, we won’t distribute apps and in-app purchase items that are clear rip-offs. We’ll reject expensive apps that try to cheat users with irrationally high prices.

앱스토어의 조작은 개발자 등록을 말소한다.

If we find that you have attempted to manipulate reviews, inflate your chart rankings with paid, incentivized, filtered, or fake feedback, or engage with third party services to do so on your behalf, we will take steps to preserve the integrity of the App Store, which may include expelling you from the Developer Program.

(이전 3.10에 해당, engage with third party services 신규추가됨)

If you want to unlock features or functionality within your app, (by way of example: subscriptions, in-game currencies, game levels, access to premium content, or unlocking a full version), you must use in-app purchase. Apps may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than IAP. Any credits or in-game currencies purchased via IAP must be consumed within the app and may not expire, and you should make sure you have a restore mechanism for any restorable in-app purchases. Please remember to assign the correct purchasability type or your app will be rejected. Apps should not directly or indirectly enable gifting of IAP content, features, or consumable items to others. Apps distributed via the Mac App Store may host plug-ins or extensions that are enabled with mechanisms other than the App Store.

(이전 11.1/11.2/11.13/11.4/11.5/11.7에 해당, restore mechanism, gifting of IAP content 신규추가됨)

Auto-renewing subscriptions should only be offered using in-app purchase and may only be used for periodicals (e.g. newspapers, magazines), business apps (e.g. enterprise, productivity, professional creative, cloud storage), media apps (e.g. video, audio, voice, photo sharing), and other approved services (e.g. dating, dieting, weather). These subscriptions must last a minimum of 7 days and be accessible from all of the user’s devices where the app is available. You may offer subscriptions that are shared across your own apps, but these subscriptions may not extend to third party apps or services.

(이전 11.12/11.15/11.6에 해당, shared across 신규추가됨)

3.1.3 Content-based “Reader” Apps: 결제방법이 없으면 구입한 컨텐츠는 이용은 가능하다.

3.1.4 Content Codes:컨텐츠와 기능의 해제코드는 사용 불가하며 환경에 따라 기능 해제는 앱내 과금적용시 제외한다. 인증제품의 보조기능은 앱내 과금사용도 가능하다. 기능해제에 무관한 요구는 불가하다.

Apps may not use their own mechanisms to unlock content or functionality, such as license keys, augmented reality markers, QR codes, etc. In limited circumstances, such as when features are dependent upon specific hardware to function, the app may unlock that functionality without using in-app purchase (e.g. an astronomy app that adds features when synced with a telescope). App features that work in combination with an approved physical product (such as a toy) on an optional basis may unlock functionality without using IAP, provided that an IAP option is available as well. You may not, however, require users to purchase unrelated products or engage in advertising or marketing activities to unlock app functionality.

(이전 11.1/11.16에 해당, license keys, augmented reality markers, QR codes, synced with a telescope 신규추가됨)

3.1.5 Physical Goods and Services Ouside of the App: 물품 또는 외부 서비스에 대한 지불은 앱내 과금적용에서 제외한다. 가상화폐의 이용은 대상지역의 법령을 준수한다.

If your app enables people to purchase goods or services that will be consumed outside of the app, you must use purchase methods other than IAP to collect those payments, such as Apple Pay or traditional credit card entry. Apps may facilitate transmission of approved virtual currencies (e.g. Bitcoin, DogeCoin) provided that they do so in compliance with all state and federal laws for the territories in which the app functions.

(이전 11.3/11.17에 해당, Apple Pay or traditional credit card entry, Bitcoin, DogeCoin 신규추가됨)

3.1.6 Apple Pay: 판매전 모든 구매정보를 제공한다. Apple Pay Identity Guidelines 및 Human Interface Guidelines를 준수하며 계속 지불을 위한 공개필수사항:

Apps using Apple Pay must provide all material purchase information to the user prior to sale of any good or service and must use Apple Pay branding and user interface elements correctly, as described in the Apple Pay Identity Guidelines and Human Interface Guidelines. Apps using Apple Pay to offer recurring payments must, at a minimum, disclose the following information:

Don’t simply copy the latest popular app on the App Store, or make some minor changes to another app’s name or UI and pass it off as your own. In addition to risking an intellectual property infringement claim, it makes the App Store harder to navigate and just isn’t fair to your fellow developers.

4.2 최소 기능

유용성이 없는 앱은 불가한다. 지속성이 없는 가치와 섬뜩한 앱은 불가한다. 음악과 영화는 iTunes Store에 제출하며 책은 iBooks Store에 제출한다.

Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or “app-like,” it doesn’t belong on the App Store. If your App doesn’t provide some sort of lasting entertainment value, or is just plain creepy, it may not be accepted. Apps that are simply a song or movie should be submitted to the iTunes store. Apps that are simply a book or game guide should be submitted to the iBooks Store.

4.2.4 워치 페이스와 유사한 애플왓치 앱은 불가한다.

Apple Watch apps that appear to be a watch face are confusing, because people will expect them to work with device features such as swipes, notifications, and third party complications. Creative ways of expressing time as an app interface is great (say, a tide clock for surfers), but if your app comes too close to resembling a watch face, we will reject it.

Also avoid piling on to a category that is already saturated; the App Store has enough fart, burp, flashlight, and Kama Sutra apps already. Spamming the store may lead to your removal from the Developer Program.

Make sure your app only includes content that you created or that you have a license to use. Your app may be removed if you’ve stepped over the line and used content without permission. Of course, this also means someone else’s app may be removed if they’ve “borrowed” from your work. If you believe your intellectual property has been infringed by another developer on the App Store, submit a claim via our web form. Laws differ in different countries, but at the very least, make sure to avoid the following common errors:
