Along with the latest beta or test version published for developers and the leaks of what was said at WWDC, an important novelty related to the application market has been discovered App StoreAnd it is that Apple would be preparing a section specially designed for children where to findapplications, games and tools designed for them.
AppleApparently, they floated the idea of creating an exclusive section for infants during the past WWDC , the annual congress where it shows its news to developers. Now, according to the specialized media 9to5Mac, Apple would have already started contacting directly by email with the content creators to inform them of the requirements to catalog their applications and that they fall within the new category Kids (children). A message that has been leaked and that gives several clues as to what this new section of App Store will be
Thus, thanks to this email, you can know that the next section Kids in the App Store will be a safe environment to find content specially designed for three categories of children.And it is that the developers have to specify if their application is specially designed for children of five years or less, for those who are between the ages of six and eight years old or, finally, those who are in the stage of nine to eleven years oldBearing in mind that the applications contained in this section will never be intended for children over eleven years of age.
In addition, Apple ensures in that communication that the applications that appear in Kids may also have a second category, showing in other places and rankings of the App Store Along with this, it explains that it is necessary to submit a new version of an already published application if you want to be included in this new section, being the moment to choose the age range for which the tool is intended.
This section especially for children is not the only measure that Apple prepares for the little ones in the house in iOS 7 And, after its announcement at WWDC, new tracks have been leaked over the Internet. Last week it was reported that Apple updated its review guide of applications to prevent the publication of tools that may collect sensitive information such as email or other data from users under the age of thirteen without parental consent In addition, they may not send outside the application to make payments through links to subjects of the same age range.
No doubt Apple seems concerned about the future generation of buyers of its products.A good measure to calm the anxiety of parents who will have the security that the applications of the category Kids are specially created for their children, with barriers that ensure that will not purchase anything without your consent, nor will they come across content that is inappropriate for their age.
