Apple reminds app developers to adhere to its new App Tracking Transparency rules ahead of iOS 14.5 rollout

Apple has released the guidelines for app developers to follow for its upcoming version of the iOS. The guidelines will be put to effect starting April 26.

Apple is about to roll out a serious iOS update for iPhone users next week. Before introducing the iOS 14.5, Apple has now released guidelines for app developers that highlight the requirements for the upcoming iOS. As clear in the requirements, all apps submitted to the App Store on April 26 and after will have to adhere to the App Tracking Transparency rules. This means that the apps will have to take express permission from iOS users to track their location or activities across all apps. For this, all the apps submitted after the date should be built on the Xcode 12 and iOS 14 SDK or later. Any new app using older SDK options will not be accepted on the App Store. The update will be necessary for all apps made for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
