Universal Apps
City Building Games Macos Games
When you open your project in Xcode 12, your app is automatically updated to produce release builds and archives as Universal apps. When you build your app, Xcode produces one binary “slice” for Apple Silicon and one for the Intel x86_64 CPU, then wraps them together as a single app bundle to share or submit to the Mac App Store. You can test this at any time by selecting “Any Mac” as the target in the toolbar.
Widgets
Easily build widgets using the WidgetKit framework and the new widget API for SwiftUI. Widgets now come in multiple sizes, and users can visit the new widget gallery to search, preview sizes, and add them to Notification Center to access important details at a glance.
Review guidelines
All apps submitted to the App Store are reviewed based on a set of technical, content, and design criteria. Make sure to review the App Review Guidelines before submitting your app.
Submit and promote your Mac app
Get your new product page and promotions ready, and submit your app for review in App Store Connect.
Product Page
The Mac App Store product page provides features that help drive discovery and downloads of your app. You can include a subtitle, promotional text, up to three app preview videos per localization, and up to 10 screenshots. You can also respond to customer reviews of your app to directly address feedback, questions, and concerns.
App Privacy Practices
Later this year, the App Store will help users understand an app’s privacy practices before they download the app on any Apple platform. On each app’s product page, users can learn about some of the data types the app may collect, and whether that data is linked to them or used to track them. You can now enter your app’s privacy information in App Store Connect. This information will be required to submit new apps and app updates to the App Store starting December 8, 2020.
App Pre-Orders
Your new app can be made available for pre-order when you submit your app and metadata for review in App Store Connect. Users can order your app before it’s released for download from your App Store product page.
