App Store and Google Play security requirements

What do the app stores require?

Apple's App Store and Google Play both enforce security and privacy rules, and an app can be rejected or removed for breaking them. The rules cover how an app handles user data, what it discloses, how it secures network traffic, and what permissions and SDKs it uses.

Both stores also require a public summary of data practices: Google Play has the Data Safety section, and Apple has Privacy Nutrition Labels. These must match what the app actually does.

How Mobexa helps

Mobexa shows what an app actually does with data, including what it stores, how it transmits it and which SDKs and trackers it bundles. That helps a team complete the data safety and privacy disclosures accurately and fix the security issues that lead to a store rejection before they submit.

Common questions

Can an app be rejected for security reasons?
Yes. Both Apple and Google can reject or remove apps for insecure data handling, undisclosed data collection, deceptive behaviour or misused permissions. Testing the build before submission reduces that risk.
What is the Google Play Data Safety section?
It is a public summary on the store listing of what data an app collects and shares and how it is protected. It must reflect the app's real behaviour, which is something security and privacy testing can confirm.

Mobexa maps every finding on your Android and iOS builds to App Store & Play requirements and the other standards an auditor recognises.
