"Apple's new Developer Program License Agreement specifies that third parties may not use Forwarding Information for advertising, profiling, training models, or monitoring location, ensuring user privacy is prioritized."
"Developers are prohibited from storing forwarded notification data on servers or in the cloud, and the data can only be decrypted on the accessory itself, reinforcing security measures."
"The forwarded information must not be altered in any way that changes its meaning, and the accessory receiving the notification cannot share that data or its encryption keys with any other device."
Apple is enhancing iOS for interoperability with third-party wearables, allowing features like AirPods-like pairing and notification forwarding. The iOS 26.5 beta introduces Live Activities forwarding, accompanied by a revised Developer Program License Agreement. New rules prohibit third parties from using forwarded information for advertising or location monitoring, and developers cannot store this data remotely. Forwarded notifications must remain unaltered and locked to the receiving device. Apple retains the right to forward notifications from apps even if they do not utilize these frameworks, contingent on user permission.
