Apple rejecting App Store screenshots that do not comply to 4+ age rating

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/apple-rejecting-app-store-screenshots-do-not-comply-4-age-rating-standard' title="Apple rejecting App Store screenshots that do not comply to 4+ age rating"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/02/tempo-store-listing.jpg?itok=uvakMoSE' />[/url]</p> <p>Apple has started to enforce an App Store rule that requires all screenshots on the store to comply to the 4+ age rating standard, and is removing apps that depict violence or feature guns in their screenshots. <!--break-->According to the App Store guidelines document:</p>
<p>The App Store has parental controls and requires all apps to bear age-appropriate content ratings. While violence, etc. has always been permitted in apps, Apple has always required that all app metadata — title, description, icon, and screenshots — be kid-proof with the lowest rating. [
...] It's right there in the rules: 3.6 Apps with App icons, screenshots, and previews that do not adhere to the 4+ age rating will be rejected.</p> <p>Pocket Gamer noticed that <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id696701152?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Tempo[/url] (image above) featured a blurred gun in its App Store screenshots to adhere to the ruling. However, other action games such as <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/modern-combat-5-blackout/id656176278?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Modern Combat 5: Blackout[/url] still have guns highlighted in their screenshots:</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/apple-rejecting-app-store-screenshots-do-not-comply-4-age-rating-standard' title="Apple rejecting App Store screenshots that do not comply to 4+ age rating"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/02/modern-combat-5-screenshot.jpeg?itok=rMWkTaz-' />[/url]</p> <p>Gunslugs 2 developer OrangePixel also found that an update to the game was rejected as the screenshot for the game depicts "violence against a human being." The issue has since been fixed, and the game is now live with the update (and the same screenshot).</p> <p>Source: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/tempo/id696701152?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">App Store (Tempo)[/url]; Via: 9to5Mac</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-29924"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/43592034/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
