What is the procedure for developing an app for the iPhone app store which contains mature content? I am developing from the United Kingdom and am currently evaluating the costs of development and deployment<br />
<br />
Am I required to have the app certificated with something like BBFC or PEGI ?<br />
<br />
I have noticed that the age restrictions on apps are non-standard like +17 for example. Are there restrictions as to what kind of content can be included in an iPhone app?<br />
<br />
I wanted to contact Apple about this, but have not received any responses as of yet. I haven't enrolled in the developer programme yet because the project isn't a definite go yet.

iOS / iPhone Pre-Development Question - Mature Content - UK

Swift is a compiled programming language created for iOS, OS X, watchOS, tvOS and Linux development by Apple Inc. Swift is designed to work with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks and the large body of existing Objective-C code written for Apple products. Swift is intended to be more resilient to erroneous code ("safer") than Objective-C and also more concise. It is built with the LLVM compiler framework included in Xcode 6 and later and uses the Objective-C runtime, which allows C, Objective-C, C++ and Swift code to run within a single program. A second free implementation of Swift targets Microsoft's Common Language Infrastructure (a.k.a. .NET) and the Java/Android platform.

Swift Programming

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.
