# Create a Placeholder App with Privacy Questions and Age Ratings

Create a placeholder app in your App Store Connect account.

After logging into https://appstoreconnect.apple.com, complete these steps.

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-mysalesforce-264-0-0-production-enus/a39debb4-ddcf-4d21-ae97-ca8229316d3a/images/icon_important.png)

Important Apple has introduced new requirements for some content rights information, including more granular age ratings and new ratings questions. You must update your age ratings and answer the new questions by January 26, 2026, in order to continue submitting app updates. These requirements are also enforced for apps that are privately distributed.

1. Click **My Apps**.
2. Click **+**, then **New App**.
3. Set the platform to iOS, and fill out the required fields.
    1. Fill out the App Name, which must match the name entered in the App Store Name field in the metadata form.
    2. Set the Primary Language to the same language that you entered in the Mobile Publisher submission.
    3. Select the value in the Store Identifier field presented in Mobile Publisher as the Bundle ID.
    4. Enter Salesforce-MM-DD-YYYY for the SKU.
        
        An example for Salesforce-MM-DD-YYYY is Salesforce-07-01-2020.
4. For the User Access, select **Full Access**.
5. Click **Create**.
6. Select the placeholder app that you created.
7. In the sidebar, select **App Privacy**.
8. Click **Get Started**.
9. Specify data that your app collects from your company or from your third-party partners.

    To learn about the baseline disclosures for your Salesforce Mobile Publisher iOS app, see [App Privacy - Salesforce App](https://salesforce.quip.com/4TPfAMx6ev0v).
10. After you answer the app questions, click **Publish** in the top-right corner of the privacy page.
11. In the Distribution tab, select the App Information section.
12. Select **Edit** next to **App Age Ratings** and answer all the seven steps listed. Generally, the default answer is No to most of the questions, but your app’s needs can be different. We recommend you pay special attention to the Capabilities and the Wellness or Medical sections.
13. Select **Done**.
