Apple Developer | Updated Agreements

Last updated: September 18, 2025

Apple regularly updates its terms of service for using the App Store platform. These updates usually occur several times a year.


Whenever a new agreement is released, only the account holder can review and accept it. Until the agreements are accepted, app updates to the iOS platform are blocked.

What You’ll Need

  • The account holder’s Apple ID credentials (email, password, and two-factor authentication)
