"Apple in 2017 added a rule to its App Review Guidelines, which lists the specific requirements for mini apps. In guideline 4.7, the company gives developers permission to run mini apps, mini games, streaming games, chatbots, plug-ins, and game emulators that offer software not in the main app's binary. It also describes how they're to process sensitive data or filter objectionable material, similar to native apps."
"To qualify for the new Mini App program, Apple says the main app must be available on iOS or iPadOS and hosted on the App Store, will need to follow the Apple Developer Program License Agreement and the existing App Review Guidelines, including those for mini apps. However, the program also adds the new requirements for the apps to support specific Apple technologies, including the Advanced Commerce API and Declared Age Rating API, which ensures apps offer age-appropriate content."
Apple launched the Mini Apps Partner Program offering a reduced 15% commission on in-app purchases for mini applications. A mini app is a "self-contained" web experience built with HTML5 and JavaScript and distributed inside a larger native app. Guideline 4.7 permits mini apps and related experiences while requiring rules for processing sensitive data and filtering objectionable material. To qualify, the host app must be on iOS or iPadOS, follow Apple developer agreements and App Review Guidelines, and support required Apple technologies. The program requires use of Apple's in-app purchase system and specific Apple APIs, and sending purchase information to Apple for refunds.
