News & General Discussion

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.

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.

There are many apps which are using ad networks in ios.

Can you just name one of them?

Not for kids there arent.

Reminds me of the age questions in Larry 1, some were impossible even for my dad I remember :smile:

Hi, check example of Parental Gate here: Unity Asset Store

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

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.
