I got a notification today that Apple is updating its Developer Agreement with some new requirements around Age Verification and their AI models. Asking ChatGPT to summarize:
1. New rules for Apple’s AI / “Foundation Models Framework”
- If your app uses Apple’s built-in AI models, you must implement “reasonable guardrails.”
- Apple can require your model adapters to stay compatible with the current OS model version.
- If you don’t update, your app may break or become incompatible with the OS.
2. Explicit prohibition on using certain system data for AI training
3. New identity verification APIs
4. New Apple Intelligence / ML infrastructure concepts
- Apple intends developers to extend Apple’s AI rather than bring their own models directly into the OS layer.
5. New regional distribution frameworks
- Apple is building region-specific exceptions instead of globally loosening App Store rules.
There's a few more points but basically they're locking down AI and identity regulations much more tightly for the App Store
