Business of Games: You need to warn gamers that they are leaving the app, Web Shop rules “Designed by Apple in California"
Apple imposes more such STRICT guidelines for gamedevs
Hey Friends, Greetings from Bangalore 💗
A list of strict guidelines to be followed by devs for their web shops,
Dont encourage users away from making IAP
URL restrictions: web view is not allowed, let the gamer open the URL in a new browser tab (outside the game) and explore the web shop - NO tracker, NO redirects are allowed
Showcase the web shop link only once, must not appear in pop-ups, modal windows, or during the IAP process, onboarding, or sign-in stages
Dont mention your webshop on App Store page
Adhere to Apple's design requirements, link to your webshop should not resemble a button, nor should your site imitate the appearance or function of Apple's IAP system
Submit a detailed transaction report by the 15th of each month. If Apple introduces a tracking API, integration is mandatory
Warn gamers when they try to open Web Shop link, you must present a disclosure notice to users, indicating they are leaving the app and will not be transacting through their Apple account
