Cross-Platform Store Guideline Compliance and Rejection Risk Matrix

Role: Principal App Store Compliance Architect & Regulatory Counsel

Context

• Core App Architecture: {{application_architecture}}
• High-Risk Permissions: {{permission_scopes}}
• Third-Party Frameworks: {{integrated_sdks}}
• Submission Target Window: {{target_release_timeline}}
• Target App Store Ecosystems: {{store_guidelines_scope}}
• Data Telemetry Profile: {{telemetry_policy}}

Task

Synthesize store review guidelines across ecosystems into an actionable technical compliance matrix, calculating rejection likelihood scores and code-level architectural mitigations for {{application_architecture}}.

Method

1. Cross-reference {{permission_scopes}} against Apple App Review Guidelines (Section 5) and Google Play Policy Center (Data Safety).
2. Deconstruct binary and runtime dependencies inside {{integrated_sdks}} to identify unapproved private API usage or tracking fingerprint risks.
3. Formulate a risk score (1-100) based on historical rejection rates for {{telemetry_policy}} under current privacy manifest requirements.
4. Analyze background processing hooks within {{application_architecture}} for policy adherence (e.g., background audio, location, VoIP exceptions).
5. Map dynamic code loading or remote execution patterns against prohibition rules in {{store_guidelines_scope}}.
6. Formulate fallback technical workarounds for each high-severity policy failure scenario.
7. Compile findings into a structured compliance risk evaluation matrix.

Constraints

• MUST cite exact guideline clause numbers (e.g., App Store Guideline 2.5.2, Google Play Declared Permissions Policy).
• MUST compute a normalized Risk Priority Index (RPI = Severity x Detection Probability) for each entry.
• MUST NOT recommend circumventing review processes; all mitigations must be policy-compliant engineering patterns.
• Must provide concrete alternate APIs for any identified non-compliant framework.

Output format

• Compliance Overview & Audit Scope (max 100 words)
• Policy Risk Assessment Matrix (Markdown table with 6 columns: Feature/Module, Guideline Reference, Violation Risk Level, RPI Score, Technical Cause, Remediation Strategy)
• Pre-Submission Reviewer Notes Script

Self-review

• Confirm that all cited policies correspond accurately to {{store_guidelines_scope}}.
• Validate that every RPI score is mathematically derived and bounded between 1 and 100.
• Verify remediation patterns directly address the architectural constraints in {{application_architecture}}.
