I am individual developer and I am trying to promote my free app that works on Mac OS ( https://tonfotos.com ) in google paid ads, however Google is consistently banning my ads due to usage of Mac trademark in it, even though it is only used to indicate compatibility of my App with Mac OS (like 'Download Tonfotos for free for Mac OS', etc.)

So what are Apple guidelines for independent developers in promoting their app on Google? Should we avoid mentioning that our apps are for Mac OS? Or is Apple OK with trademark usage in that context?

Are there any official guidelines published somewhere so I can refer to?

The problem is not on promoting on Google. It is how you use a Mac Trademark (that's forbidden by Apple).

You can ask permission from Apple and they will allow it, I have done it but don't remember how exactly :) I think it was buried somewhere among the support options.
