    Hi there,

    I am facing issue when I am publishing my kids app to app store. My app was rejected due parental gate issue.

    How can I implement parental gate into my kids app?

    Thanks

    Parental gates are pretty straight forward if you check theirs web site.
    https://developer.apple.com/app-store/parental-gates/

    please note that Most of the mobile ads are not compatible with the parental gate requirement of Apple.

    if you are trying to implement an ad network in a kids app. just forget it.

    I did not check this asset myself but from what I see from the video you posted. it is completely useless. Sorry :(

    Here how you can improve, first, every wrong answer should change the question, there will be an informational text about what kind of permission is asked right now (like; you are trying to reach an external link, you are trying to make a purchase). parental gates should look distinctive from the game. It should not be mistaken as a gameplay mechanic. parental gates should have either play a verbal directive to asking a parent sound or visual hint for parents for non-reading children if they are targetted.

    also, questions should be hard to solve for kids under 13. simple math questions are not blocking any 13 years old. soo I appreciate your efforts but please do not sell crap to people. make these adjustments.

    In version 2 the task is changed every time (video is related to version 1). You can change the task as you want: source code is open. Here we have basic GUI which is enough to pass App Store Moderation.

    Best Regards

    P.S. I've recently visited your town — Istanbul: Kadıköy district. Nice place, I Enjoyed it.
