"Users in Australia, Brazil, and Singapore can't download apps rated 18-plus unless their age has been confirmed through 'reasonable methods,' which the App Store can confirm automatically. Apple notes that developers may still 'have separate obligations to independently confirm that their users are adults,' and they can use Apple's Declared Age Range API, introduced last year to let app developers request age range information about users, to help."
"New signals are available to developers through the Declared Age Range API, 'including whether age-related regulatory requirements apply to the user and if the user is required to share their age range.' The API will also let developers know if they need to get a parent or guardian's permission for significant app updates for a child."
Apple announced new age verification features enabling developers to meet regulatory requirements across multiple regions. Users in Australia, Brazil, and Singapore cannot download 18-plus rated apps without age confirmation through reasonable methods. The company introduced enhanced Declared Age Range API capabilities that share age categories with developers in Utah and Louisiana. New API signals inform developers about age-related regulatory requirements, whether users must share age ranges, and if parental permission is needed for child app updates. Developers retain independent obligations to verify adult users.
