Apple is cracking down on apps that collect user data for tracking purposes, known as "fingerprinting," starting with the release of iOS 17 and other operating systems. Developers will be required to explain their use of "required reason" APIs, with apps failing to provide a valid reason facing rejection by spring 2024. The crackdown aims to prevent the misuse of APIs that can identify devices or users, potentially leading to increased app rejections.
