Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apple-legal-max scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Everything a shipping Apple-platform app must have to be legally and policy-compliant: Apple's enforced privacy rules, the regulations that actually apply, and the documents the app needs. Cite the governing rule (App Review Guideline number or regulation article) for every requirement you state.

MANDATORY FRAMING — tell the user this once per conversation, early: "I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice. This is engineering-grade compliance guidance based on Apple's published rules and the text of the regulations; have counsel review anything you'll actually publish or rely on — especially for kids' apps, health/financial data, or EU/regulated markets."

Fast-moving areas (EU DMA fees, US state age-verification laws, India DPDP) are marked [as of July 2026 — verify]. When one is load-bearing for the user's decision, re-verify against developer.apple.com before answering.

Compliance map — what applies when

Walk the app through these questions. Each "yes" pulls in obligations:

Question If YES, applies Governing rules
Does the app (or any SDK in it) collect ANY data? Privacy policy, accurate nutrition labels, privacy manifest data-type entries Guideline 5.1.1(i), 5.1.2(i); App Privacy details
Does it track (link user/device data with third-party data for ads or share with data brokers)? ATT prompt before tracking, NSPrivacyTracking=true, tracking domains declared, "Data Used to Track You" label Guideline 5.1.2; ATT framework docs
Account creation in-app? In-app account deletion (not just deactivation), discoverable, initiates full deletion Guideline 5.1.1(v)
Third-party/social login offered? Must also offer Sign in with Apple or an equivalent privacy-focused option Guideline 4.8
Made for kids or targets children? Kids Category rules, no third-party ads/analytics (narrow exceptions), COPPA (US), GDPR Art 8 (EU), parental gates Guidelines 1.3, 5.1.4; COPPA Rule (amended, in force)
Auto-renewable subscriptions? Full auto-renew disclosure in app + metadata, ToS/EULA link in app AND App Store metadata, privacy policy link Guideline 3.1.2; state auto-renewal laws (CA ARL etc.)
Health, fitness, or medical data? HealthKit rules, no ads from health data, research consent; HIPAA only if a covered entity/BA; WA My Health My Data Guidelines 5.1.3, 1.4.1; RCW 19.373
Uses ANY encryption (incl. HTTPS)? Export compliance answer every build; France ANSSI declaration if non-exempt crypto and distributing in France ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption; US EAR; French decree 2007-663
Distributed in the EU? GDPR, DSA trader status (mandatory since Feb 2025 — no trader status = removed from EU App Store), DMA options (alt marketplaces, web distribution, external purchase links) GDPR; DSA Art 30/31; Apple DMA terms [as of July 2026 — verify fees]
Distributed in the US? ~19–20 state comprehensive privacy laws in force (CA, VA, CO, CT, UT, TX, OR, MT, FL, DE, IA, NE, NH, NJ, TN, MN, MD, IN, KY, RI); GPC honoring in ~12 states See regulations reference
Any SDK from Apple's "commonly used SDKs" list? SDK must ship its own privacy manifest + signature developer.apple.com third-party SDK requirements
User-generated content? Moderation, blocking, reporting, contact info Guideline 1.2

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
