<h3 data-sidenav id="introduction">Introduction</h3>
<p>The guiding principle of the App&nbsp;Store is simple—we want to provide a safe experience for users to get apps and a great opportunity for all developers to be successful. We do this by offering a highly curated App&nbsp;Store where every app is reviewed by experts and an editorial team helps users discover new apps every day. We also scan each app for malware and other software that may impact user safety, security, and privacy. These efforts have made Apple’s platforms the safest for consumers around the world.</p>

<p>In the European Union, developers can also distribute notarized iOS <span class="insert">and iPadOS </span>apps from alternative app marketplaces<span class="insert"> and directly from their website</span>.

You can see which guidelines apply to Notarization for iOS <span class="insert">and iPadOS </span>apps by clicking on “Show Notarization Review Guidelines Only” in the menu to the left.</p>

<p>For everything else there is always the open Internet. If the App&nbsp;Store model and guidelines or alternative app marketplaces and Notarization for iOS <span class="insert">and iPadOS </span>apps are not best for your app or business idea that’s okay, we provide Safari for a great web experience too.</p>

<h3 data-sidenav id="before-you-submit">Before You Submit</h3>
<p>To help your app approval go as smoothly as possible, review the common missteps listed below that can slow down the review process or trigger a rejection. This doesn’t replace the guidelines or guarantee approval, but making sure you can check every item on the list is a good start. If your app no longer functions as intended or you’re no longer actively supporting it, it will be removed from the App&nbsp;Store. <a href="https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store-improvements/">Learn more about App&nbsp;Store Improvements</a>.</p>

<p class="section-intro">When people install an app from the App&nbsp;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&nbsp;Store isn’t the right place for your app. Some of these rules are also included in Notarization for iOS<span class="insert"> and iPadOS</span> apps.</p>

&lt;p&gt;On June 10, among other things, changes were made to require developers to explain why configured in-app items cannot be found or reviewed in their apps, when they submit for review. Apple also made it clear that they will no longer reject apps that simulate multi-app widget experiences. (&lt;a href=&quot;https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=og4hxxz8&quot;&gt;Summary&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
