Just a short time ago, Apple announced that it is making some changes to the App Store review process. Thus on Thursday, as promised, Apple published its App Store Review Guidelines, a document that details what is and is not acceptable for App Store software.

The guidelines cover a number of topics, including the functionality of software, use of features such as push notifications and location services, and integration of Apple-controlled programs like Game Center and iAds. It is surprised to find direct, blunt language is used to make Apple’s requirements much clearer. For instant, “We have over 250,000 apps in the App Store. We don’t need any more Fart apps. If your app doesn’t do something useful or provide some form of lasting entertainment, it may not be accepted.” and “We have lots of serious developers who don’t want their quality Apps to be surrounded by amateur hour” and more.

The table of contents includes 22 sections, ranging from metadata to user interface to violence and pornography. Many of the requirements have already been clearly established, including the fact that applications cannot crash or have serious bugs. For the details, please visit Apple’s official web.
