Through observation, we found that Apple has "quietly" adjusted the "App Store Review Guidelines".
After comparison, the changes in the "App Store Review Guidelines" are not many, but two of the new contents are worth paying attention to.
🔸 2.5 Software requirements
"2.5.18 Display ads should only be served within the main binary of your app and not included in extensions, widgets, notifications, keyboards, watchOS apps, etc. Ads displayed within an app must be consistent with the age rating of the app.
Users should be allowed to view all information used to direct them to this ad (without requiring the user to leave the app), and should not involve targeted or behaviorally targeted ads based on sensitive user data.
Sensitive user data includes health/medical data (such as data from the HealthKit API), school and classroom data (such as data from ClassKit), or children's data (such as data from apps in the children category), etc.
Ads that interrupt or block the user experience must clearly indicate that they are ads, must not manipulate or trick the user into tapping them, and must provide an easily accessible and clearly visible close/skip button that is large enough for the user to easily Remove the ad.
Apps that contain advertisements must also provide functionality that enables users to report any inappropriate advertisements or advertisements that do not correspond to the age rating of the app."
🔸 4.1 Plagiarism
"Please come up with your own ideas. We know you have great ideas, so bring them to life. Please do not simply copy popular apps on the App Store, or just slightly modify the name or UI of other apps, and use them for your own use.
Not only does doing so risk intellectual property infringement claims, it makes navigating the App Store harder and unfair to your fellow developers.
Submitting an app that pretends to be another app or service is considered a violation of the Developer Code of Conduct and may result in the developer being removed from the Apple Developer Program."

In the App Store of the iOS16.5 system, there is a [More Games You May Like] section between the [Free Games Ranking] and [Current Bestsellers] sections in the game tab, while in the iOS17 developer beta version of the App Store Among them, the [Currently Best Sellers] section closely follows the [Free Games Ranking].
Change 2: The [Free App Ranking] section in the App tab is moved up
In the iOS17 developer beta version of the App Store, the weight of the [Free App Ranking] section has been strengthened, moved up one place and closely followed by the [30 Apps Everyone is using] section, while the [Popular App section] in iOS16.5 disappeared.
