ARFaceTracking distribution

Dear developers,


The application is based on the ARFaceTracking solution and goes only to those users who have an iPhone X and above - a front camera with TrueDepth technology used for face detection and tracking. Will such an application go through the review or should a solution be proposed to lift the device limitation from iPhone X and above?

It was a yes -or- no question. Your hedged reply appears to be 'no'.


While you can attempt to claim differently in your meta data, you should know there is no mechanism the dev can enable that will allow you to restrict - you shouldn't be surprised if review pushed back on such claims.


Expect to provide broad support beyond X/above, keeping in mind that Apple says this about that:


"Offer AR features only on capable devices. If your app's primary purpose is AR, make your app available only to devices that support ARKit. If your app includes features that require specific AR capabilities, or if AR features are optional in your app, don’t show people an error if they try to use these features on a device that doesn’t support them; instead, simply avoid offering the feature on an unsupported device. For developer guidance, see Verifying Device Support and User Permission."

Are there hardware capabilities you intend to use on those devices that make it important to limit the use of your app with them alone?
