Step 1: Identify App Type → Load Checklist
Determine which guidelines apply by loading the relevant checklist from references/guidelines/by-app-type/. Always start with all_apps.md, then add the app-type-specific one:
| App Type | Checklist |
|---|---|
| Every app | references/guidelines/by-app-type/all_apps.md |
| Subscriptions / IAP | references/guidelines/by-app-type/subscription_iap.md |
| Social / UGC | references/guidelines/by-app-type/social_ugc.md |
| Kids Category | references/guidelines/by-app-type/kids.md |
| Health & Fitness | references/guidelines/by-app-type/health_fitness.md |
| Games | references/guidelines/by-app-type/games.md |
| macOS | references/guidelines/by-app-type/macos.md |
| AI / Generative AI | references/guidelines/by-app-type/ai_apps.md |
| Crypto & Finance | references/guidelines/by-app-type/crypto_finance.md |
| VPN | references/guidelines/by-app-type/vpn.md |

Step 2: Pull Metadata for Inspection
Pull the latest App Store metadata using the asc CLI:
# Pull canonical metadata JSON for the version you want to review
asc metadata pull --app "<APP_ID>" --version "<VERSION>" --dir ./metadata
asc metadata pull writes app info files to ./metadata/app-info/*.json and
version-localization files to ./metadata/version/<VERSION>/*.json.
