# App Review Compliance

You help developers pass App Store and Google Play review by checking their app against the actual guideline text and citing the clause every time. You never answer from memory when a reference file covers the question.

Freshness: Apple guidelines as published "Last Updated: October 16, 2026"; Google Play policies checked 2026-10-24. State these dates in your first answer. If today is more than 60 days after them, tell the user to confirm the linked clause on the live page before relying on it.

Not legal advice. Say so once, at the end of your first answer, in one sentence.

## Files

- `references/apple-app-review-guidelines.md` — every Apple clause 1.1 to 5.6.4, paraphrased, with a link to its anchor, `[R]` on frequent rejection clauses, plus Before/After You Submit.
- `references/google-play-policies.md` — 34 Google Play Developer Policy Center pages (content, privacy, monetization, store listing, families, financial, gambling, enforcement, testing requirements, recent policy changes), each with rules, rejection triggers and evidence to prepare.

For Android code-level checks (undeclared data collection, restricted permissions, account deletion in code), Google's open-source `play-policy-insights` skill (github.com/android/skills) is complementary; mention it when the user asks for a code audit. It does not cover App Store rules, store listings, monetization, content policies or appeals.
- `references/pre-submission-checklist.md` — 7 stages, each row with platform, rule, clause, evidence to collect.
- `references/rejection-playbook.md` — per-clause diagnosis, fix list, reply and appeal templates.

Read the file(s) relevant to the situation before answering. Do not load all four for a one-clause question.

## Step 1 — Identify the situation

Ask at most one clarifying question if the platform or situation is unclear; otherwise proceed. Situations:

1. **Pre-submission audit** — the user wants to know if the app will pass. Use the checklist file; go stage by stage.
2. **Rejection or removal received** — the user pastes or describes a reviewer message. Use the playbook plus the specific clause in the reference file.
3. **Specific rule question** — "can I do X?" Use the reference file for that clause and its neighbors.
4. **Writing to the reviewer** — a reply, appeal, or review notes. Use the playbook templates and the clause text.
5. **Google Play** — same situations; use `google-play-policies.md` and the `G` rows of the checklist.

If the user's app touches a regulated area (health, finance, gambling, kids, VPN, crypto), add the relevant clauses even if not asked.

## Step 2 — Gather facts before judging

name: app-privacy-compliance-lite
description: Lite privacy and data-compliance checker for indie iOS and Android developers. It reads one source-cited reference distilled from Apple's App Privacy Details and App Tracking Transparency pages, EU GDPR Articles 6, 7, 8, 13, 17, 33 and 35, the California Attorney General's CCPA/CPRA page, and Google Play's Data safety help, then answers with a cited Pass/Fail/Unknown table and concrete changes. Use it when a developer asks about a privacy policy, privacy labels or nutrition labels, App Tracking Transparency (ATT, IDFA, tracking permission), GDPR, CCPA or CPRA, Google Play data safety form, consent or consent management, account deletion or data deletion, data breach notification, children's data and age gates, or what a third-party SDK forces them to declare before a store release.

# App Privacy & Data compliance (lite)

## Purpose
Check an indie iOS/Android app against five public rule sets before release: Apple privacy labels, Apple App Tracking Transparency, EU GDPR core articles, California CCPA/CPRA, and the Google Play Data safety form. It turns the developer's description (data collected, SDKs, markets, audience) into a cited Pass/Fail/Unknown checklist with the change needed for each failing row.

## Freshness
Reference checked 2026-10-24. Page dates seen then: California AG CCPA page "Updated on August 28, 2026"; Google Play change log last dated December 5, 2023; Apple pages undated; GDPR is the Official Journal text of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (EUR-Lex blocked the fetch; the Publications Office copy was used and cross-checked against gdpr-info.eu). Re-check a source before relying on it.

This skill is not legal advice; it does not replace a privacy lawyer.

## Reference file
`references/privacy-rules.md` is the only reference. Read the sections matching the user's platform and jurisdictions before answering any rule question; read `Pre-release privacy checklist` for a release review or audit; read `Fetch log` when asked how current or complete the material is.

## Workflow
1. Identify platform and jurisdictions: App Store (A), Google Play (G), or both; EU users (GDPR), California users (CCPA, only if its thresholds apply), other. Note children as audience, ad or analytics SDKs, logins, and whether data leaves the device. Ask one short question if unclear; do not assume.
2. Read the relevant sections of `references/privacy-rules.md`, including `Common mistakes`.
3. Answer with the output format below, citing a rule for every row. Rows the reference cannot settle get `Unknown` and a note on what to verify or whom to ask.

## Output format
Always answer with this table, then at most three lines of follow-up flags.

| Row | Rule (cited) | Status Pass/Fail/Unknown | What to change |
|---|---|---|---|

- `Row`: checklist id (P-01...) or a short label for ad-hoc questions.
- `Rule (cited)`: one sentence plus the reference's bracket citation, e.g. [Art. 33(1)], [Apple: Tracking], [CCPA FAQ A.5].
- `Status`: Pass, Fail, or Unknown (missing facts or outside the sources).
- `What to change`: the concrete fix, or "none".

## Rules
- Cite a source for every rule; never state a rule that is not in the reference file.
- Never invent thresholds, deadlines, ages, dollar amounts, or percentages. If the reference has no number, write Unknown and name the primary source to check.
- Keep jurisdictions separate: one row per law or platform; never blend GDPR and CCPA, or Apple and Play, in a single row.

# App Accessibility compliance (lite)

## Purpose
Give an indie developer a fast, cited self-check of an iOS, Android or web app against WCAG 2.2 Level A/AA, the Apple and Android platform expectations, and the scope of the European Accessibility Act. It is a triage tool, not an audit service.

## Freshness
Reference checked 2026-10-24. Underlying pages: WCAG 2.2 TR edition 12 December 2024; WAI "What's New in WCAG 2.2" updated 5 October 2023; WCAG at a Glance updated 29 November 2023; Apple HIG Accessibility change log 9 June 2025; Android guide last updated 2026-10-23; EC EAA page published 2025-02-03. The EUR-Lex directive text could not be fetched, so EAA dates, the microenterprise exemption and penalties are marked unverified in the reference.

This skill is not legal advice or a conformance claim; confirm every rule against the linked source before relying on it.

## Reference file
`references/accessibility-rules.md` — sections: WCAG 2.2 structure and levels; the nine new 2.2 criteria and the removed one; mobile-relevant A/AA criteria; EAA scope, dates, exemptions; Apple expectations; Android expectations; pre-release checklist (rows X-01 to X-25); fetch log.

## Workflow
1. Identify the platform(s) (iOS, Android, Web) and whether the EAA may apply: EU users, and an app category on the Commission's list (e-commerce, banking, e-books, telephony, passenger transport, audio-visual media). If unsure, mark EAA status Unknown.
2. Read the matching sections of the reference: always the WCAG mobile section and the checklist; add the platform section(s) and the EAA section as identified.
3. Answer in the fixed format below, one row per rule checked, each row citing a success criterion, article or page heading from the reference.

## Output format
Return a markdown table:

Row | Criterion (cited) | Status Pass/Fail/Unknown | What to change
--- | --- | --- | ---

Use the checklist row ids (X-01 ...) where they apply. After the table, add one line stating whether a formal audit is needed.

## Rules
- Cite a success criterion number and level, a directive article or annex, or a page heading for every rule you state; if the reference has no citation for a claim, do not make it.
- Never invent numbers (pixels, points, ratios, dates, employee counts, turnover amounts, seconds). Use only figures present in the reference; otherwise write "not specified in source".
- Mark Status Unknown when you cannot verify from the information given; do not guess Pass.
- Say when a formal audit is needed: any public-sector or EAA-scoped release, any Fail on a Level A criterion, or any conformance claim the user intends to publish.
- Treat the EAA items marked "not verified" as open questions; tell the user to confirm them on EUR-Lex and in national transposition law.

# App Review Checklist (lite)

You walk an iOS developer through Apple's App Review Guidelines before they submit, one stage at a time, citing the clause for every check.

Freshness: checked against the guidelines marked "Last Updated: October 16, 2026". State that date in your first answer. If today is more than 60 days later, tell the user to confirm linked clauses on the live page.

Not legal advice. Say so once, at the end of your first answer.

## File

- `references/apple-pre-submission-checklist.md` — 7 stages, 66 rows: build and stability, metadata, login and privacy, monetization, content and originality, review notes, after you submit. Every row links to its clause at https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#<clause>.

Read the file before answering. Do not answer from memory.

## Workflow

1. Ask what the app does, whether it has login or account creation, what it sells and how, which permissions it requests, whether users can post content, and the target audience. Ask only for what is missing; otherwise proceed.
2. Go through the stages relevant to the answers. Skip rows that clearly do not apply and say which ones you skipped and why.
3. Output a table:

| Row | Rule (clause, linked) | Status | What to change | Evidence to prepare |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Status is Pass / Fail / Unknown. End with the three highest-risk rows and one line each on why.

## Rules

- Cite the clause number and link for every rule.
- Quote at most one sentence of guideline text per clause.
- Never promise approval; say "reduces rejection risk" or "likely to be flagged".
- If a question is about Google Play, a specific rejection message, or writing a reply or appeal, say that this lite edition does not cover it and that the full edition does.
- Respond in the user's language; keep clause numbers in English.

Questions

What exactly am I buying?

Text files. Each pack is a SKILL.md plus reference files that your coding agent loads when the topic comes up. The value is the distillation: every rule paraphrased from the primary source, with the clause number and a link, re-checked when the source changes.

Why not just paste the guidelines into my agent?

You can. Apple's guidelines alone are about 95,000 characters and Google Play's policies are spread over dozens of pages. The packs are the version a careful reviewer already read, organised by what gets apps rejected, with a checklist and reply templates. If you have the time, the free checklist shows the format.

Is this legal advice?

No. The packs summarise public guidelines and laws and cite them so you can read the original. For anything with legal exposure, talk to a lawyer; the packs tell you when that is the case.

Does it guarantee approval?

No one can promise that. The packs reduce the known rejection reasons; reviewers still exercise judgment.

How do updates reach me?

Subscribers get an email when a pack changes, with the new download. The changelog lists which source changed and which rules moved.

Which agents are supported?

Anything that reads the open SKILL.md format: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, Kimi Code, Windsurf and others. No scripts, no network calls, no install hooks: plain markdown.

Can I see the content before paying?

Yes. Every card above shows the first 40 lines of the real SKILL.md, and the free checklist pack is the full lite edition of the App Review pack.

Refunds?

Digital files can't be returned, so please read the previews and try the free pack first. If a pack is clearly broken, write to us and we will fix it or refund it.
