# Apple App Store Guidelines

> Instructions for successfully submitting your game to the Apple App Store.

<Warning>
  **It is very important to follow the below guidelines to ensure your game does not run into issues with app reviewers on the Apple App Store.**
</Warning>

# Privacy Policies

Apple announced that starting [Spring 2024](https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=3d8a9yyh), it will require its developers to declare the reasons for using certain APIs (aka Required Reason APIs) that could be misused to collect data about users' devices within privacy manifest files.

**This needs to be done when integrating the ZBD Earn SDK.**

Once your Xcode project has successfully built, follow these steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose File > New File" />

  <Step title="Scroll down to the Resource section, and select App Privacy File type" />

  <Step title="Click Next" />

  <Step title="Check your app or third-party SDK’s target in the Targets list" />

  <Step title="Click Next" />

  <Step title="Click Create" />
</Steps>

Right click the new `PrivacyInfo` file and select `Open As -> Source Code` then copy and paste the following.

<Note>
  Add or change any values below based on what your game is doing!
</Note>

More information on this Apple policy can be found here: [Apple Developer Documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files).
