Submitting to appstore requires the ability to report post

Open arbyruns opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

I was rejected from the app store since I did not have a way for content to be reported. Just a heads up for other users that maybe using Twift.

Guideline 1.2 - Safety - User Generated Content

We found in our review that your app includes user-generated content but does not have all the required precautions. Apps with user-generated content must take specific steps to moderate content and prevent abusive behavior.

Next Steps

To resolve this issue, please revise your app to implement the following precautions:

  • Require that users agree to terms (EULA) and these terms must make it clear that there is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users

  • A mechanism for users to flag objectionable content

oh wow 😬 Had no idea about this, thank you for letting us know. Daym...I would expect as we are making a Twitter api app that there is no need for us to implement such a thing....hm...Gotta make sure the popup is there I guess 😅

I don't see that v2 has a way to report spam (there is in v1 thought) but can block or mute users. Can you expand on this Gotta make sure the popup is there I guess? I'm trying to figure out how I can meet this requirement.

Well, I guess on first launch you have to have screen saying "to use this app you must agree to EULA terms bla bla...and have a link to the terms as well.

You can even frame it as "by closing this alert you agree" 😅

As for flagging....mute is quite ok i guess and should be good enough. They just frame it as "flagging" as that is usually an option that you have

Closing the loop on this, but blocking the user and then redirecting to the user profile that was blocked satisfied Apple Review policy.
