はじめに
これは2021年2月1日付けで変更された App Store 審査ガイドラインの翻訳&差分ガイドです。
前回からの主な変更点はトラッキング程度で、新規項目もなく各修正も軽微です。金融分野ではサードパーティによる「公開 API の利用」が取り消され、公式アプリのみ許される模様。

App Tracking Transparency 対応
猶予が設けられていた ATT (App Tracking Transparency) 対応が iOS 14.5 から必須になります。App Tracking Transparency API を利用してユーザの許可を得ない限り、IDFA (Identity for Advertisers) が取得できません。サードパーティ SDK 含めて要確認。

2.3 Accurate Metadata
プライバシー情報・アプリの説明・スクリーンショット・プレビューは正確かつ最新な状態を保持。
Customers should know what they’re getting when they download or buy your app, so make sure all your app metadata, including privacy information, your app description, screenshots, and previews accurately reflect the app’s core experience and remember to keep them up-to-date with new versions.
all your app metadata, including privacy information を追記。
2.3.7 ユニークなアプリ名と正確なキーワードを指定。アプリ名は 30 文字まで。名前以外の記述を含めることは不可。不適切なキーワードは Apple により変更。
Choose a unique app name, assign keywords that accurately describe your app, and don’t try to pack any of your metadata with trademarked terms, popular app names, pricing information, or other irrelevant phrases just to game the system. App names must be limited to 30 characters. Metadata such as app names, subtitles, screenshots, and previews should not include prices, terms, or descriptions that are not specific to the metadata type. App subtitles are a great way to provide additional context for your app; they must follow our standard metadata rules and should not include inappropriate content, reference other apps, or make unverifiable product claims. Apple may modify inappropriate keywords at any time or take other appropriate steps to prevent abuse.
Metadata such as app names, subtitles, screenshots, and previews を追記。
