AI Summary

Apple is adding new content descriptor questions to App Store Connect to better align app age ratings with their actual content. Developers must now indicate if their app shares a user’s real‑world location with others and whether it includes dating features involving real people or virtual companions that present sexual or romantic content. Any app flagged for dating or relationship content will receive a minimum age rating of 18+, preventing it from appearing for users under 18 whose devices have parental content restrictions. This change aims to tighten age‑appropriateness enforcement across the App Store.
