CTOnews.com, July 28 (Xinhua)-- Apple has developed a rigorous review process for App Store in order to ensure that App meets its guidelines. Apple has further tightened its audit policy, requiring developers to specify the reasons for calling API before submitting it to App Store if App invokes certain API.

Apple recently updated its Apple Developer website to mark some API as "Required Reason APIs".

CTOnews.com note: if developers need to call these API in App, then in the audit instructions submitted to App Store, they should describe in detail the purpose of using the API.

Apple says the main purpose of the initiative is to combat fingerprint identification (fingerprinting), a technology that tracks users on different apps and websites.

The new rule will take effect in the spring of 2024, and if Apple believes that the App does not need to call the API during the review process, it can reject the App application.
