This week’s release question

Did Apple or Google change anything that could break my next subscription release?

Policy Watch answers that from public Apple and Google sources without making you read every policy page, changelog, or developer update yourself.

Why this exists

Small subscription apps absorb release and monetization risk that bigger teams staff around.

Policy changes become release surprises

Apple review guidance and Google Play policy requirements evolve continuously, often with real subscription and release consequences.

Subscription flows create extra review edge cases

Trials, paywalls, disclosures, and in-app purchase setup create more ways for small teams to get stuck before launch.

Missed changes are expensive

Rejections, monetization issues, privacy problems, and delayed launches are expensive for small publishers without dedicated policy staff.

Sample output

Recent changes rendered as subscription release-risk briefings

These are generated outputs from real Apple and Google publisher-facing sources. The paid product would deliver these continuously by email and dashboard.
