Apple's new Kids Section parental control issue [closed]

Question

I am updating my kids app for compliance to Apple's new Kids section. I have read the updated Review Guidelines. And it says :

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

Does anybody have any idea about what kind of action to take? How can we get parental permission or use a parental gate? Besides I am linking out just to apps iTunes page and our social pages, so do I need to take any action?

Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

I thumbed through the FAQ and the iTunes Connect Developer Guide myself and Apple certainly doesn't make it clear what "must get parental permission" means, but I suspect what this means is that the App Store will require some kind of extra authentication steps in order to do commerce (i.e. in-app purchases) or go somewhere outside of the app (e.g. with a UIWebView).

Which seems to be make sense because of this statement: "must get parental permission or use a parental gate before allowing the user to link out of the app or engage in commerce".
