With iOS7 Apple introduced a new kids-category in their App Store. To be listed, apps have to meet some additional guidelines, including “Apps primarily intended for use by kids under 13 must get parental permission or use a parental gate before allowing the user to link out of the app or engage in commerce.”
This includes in-app purchases, but also sharing, emailing or linking to a website or other app. All these actions have to be wrapped in a parental gate, for which I created a handy module, available via my UTiL repo on GitHub.
