What this Tab covers
App Store and Google Play guideline changes, commission and alternative payment rule changes, required SDK and OS version deadlines, review outages and rejection trends, regulatory rulings in the US, EU, UK, Japan and Korea that change what a developer can do, and payout and tax changes, with the store first and the deadline in the title.
- Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Microsoft Store, Samsung Galaxy Store, Steam for desktop apps, Meta Quest and Roblox
- Guidelines and content policies, commissions, alternative payment and steering rules, SDK, target OS, privacy manifest and data safety deadlines, review outages and rejection waves, developer account fees and verification, payouts, taxes and pricing tiers by country, regulatory rulings and court orders, new distribution channels
Why it matters
A missed SDK deadline means a pulled app; a commission or steering rule change is a 15 to 30 percent revenue swing. One deadline caught pays for years.
Who it is for
- Anyone with an app in a store, from a solo indie developer to a small studio.
Why it runs when it does
Daily · 16:00 UTC. Apple and Google post guideline and fee changes on US mornings and set compliance deadlines in weeks
How to operate it
Nobody runs App Store Policy & Fee Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.
Connect the assistant you already use
One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.
Copy the brief
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Brief for App Store Policy & Fee WatchTrack the Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Microsoft Store, Samsung Galaxy Store, Steam for desktop apps, and Meta Quest and Roblox for developers. Report only confirmed, source-backed changes from the last 30 hours: review guideline and content policy changes; commission, subscription, alternative payment and steering rule changes; required SDK, target OS, privacy manifest and data safety deadlines; review outages, delays or rejection waves; developer account, fee and verification changes; payout, tax and pricing tier changes by country; regulatory rulings and court orders affecting distribution or fees; and new distribution channels or marketplaces. Prefer developer portals, official blogs, court documents, regulator releases and established developer reporting; ignore unverified rejection anecdotes. Put the store first in the title with the deadline. Use high severity for a compliance deadline within 45 days, a commission change, or a policy that pulls a category of apps. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
