Problem Statement
Our app, which is designed specifically for children, is facing repeated rejections during the Apple App Review process. The issue arises from the automatic processing of promoted in-app purchases by the Adapty SDK. When a user taps on a promoted IAP in the App Store, the purchase flow is immediately triggered without any parental verification. This behavior violates Apple’s guidelines for kids apps—where a parental gate is mandatory—resulting in our app being rejected.
Feature Request
Short Term:
Please add an option in the Adapty SDK (or via a configuration setting in the Adapty Dashboard) to disable the automatic processing of promoted in-app purchases. When this option is enabled, tapping on a promoted IAP should not immediately trigger the purchase flow. Instead, it should allow our app to decide when to initiate the purchase (for example, after displaying a custom parental gate).
Long Term:
In a future update, it would be ideal if Adapty could offer built-in parental gate functionality—such as a birthday check or similar verification method—so that apps targeting children can ensure that the purchase process is secured and complies with Apple’s guidelines without requiring a custom workaround.
Benefits
Compliance: This change would help apps in the kids category meet Apple’s strict parental control guidelines, reducing the risk of app rejections.
Developer Control: Disabling automatic behavior gives developers full control over the purchase process, allowing them to implement their own safety measures.
Integrated Solution: In the long term, built-in parental gate options would simplify development and provide a consistent, secure experience for apps designed for children.
