In this article, we also spoke about the fact that, following these requirements, apps that use comments must have set their Terms of Service.

With this new template, we wanted to update a transversal element of our apps: the multi-categories. This element can be displayed in all list templates of all content types. This Tags template will greatly contribute to upgrading the visual of your app, giving a modern and trendy vibe. Perfect for news apps, podcasts, travel guides, etc...

And we are back again with a new template for the popular map section. This section is going through a beautiful makeover with all these new updates :)  This time, you can now display a summary of your locations in the map view with a slider.   

Today, we're releasing another design update that will allow you to modernize the look of your app even more: a new material icons library.

In 2021, Google announced additional details for the Data safety section on Google Play. Developers are now required to tell Google about their apps' privacy and security practices by completing a form in Play Console. This information will be shown on your app's Store Listing to help Google Play users understand how your app collects and shares user data before they download. By 20 July 2022, all developers must declare how they collect and handle user data for the apps that they publish on Google Play and provide details about how they protect this data through security practices.  By not following these guidelines, you will find yourself at risk of having your app removed from the Play Store. Note: if you have subscribed to the GoodBarber Takes Care service, no worries. If you receive this type of email, simply open a ticket with our support team who will handle this for you

As the year comes to a close, it is time to reflect on the past 12 months and all that has happened. 2022 has been a year filled with challenges but it's also been a year of growth and adaptation. In this last blog post, let's take a look back at some of the highlights of the year, and share some thoughts on what's to come in 2023.

Good news! Once again, Apple won’t be closing down the App Store to developer submissions over the holidays, as it has in previous years.  "The busiest season on the App Store is almost here! Make sure your apps and product pages are up to date and ready in advance of the upcoming holidays. We’re pleased to remain open throughout the season again this year and look forward to accepting your submissions. On average, 90% of submissions are reviewed in less than 24 hours. However, reviews may take a bit longer to complete from December 23 to 27."  This will be the second year Apple has kept the App Store Connect platform open through the holiday season. For example, last year, App Store Connect was closed from December 23rd to December 27th.  This is great news for developers who can keep submitting new apps or updates.  However, Apple does warn that during this busy time, reviews might take longer.  For your GoodBarber iOS app, we do recommend having your app ready for submission before December 23rd to avoid any delays in your publication.  This applies to apps distributed to the general public on the App Store, and to Custom Apps distributed via Apple Business Manager. If your iOS app is distributed internally outside of the App Store via an Enterprise account, this has no impact on you

Adding a local delivery option to your online store has multiple benefits.

You'll find below insights to succeed at local delivery and how to set up the new local delivery option in your GoodBarber app: Delivery by radius 

Beliefs no longer have the same place as they used to, and religious affiliation has considerably decreased over the last few decades. Nevertheless, we have noticed a return to spirituality for a few years now: religious or not, beliefs are slowly finding their place in people's hearts. If religion sometimes appears as the enemy of modernity, this is not really the case. For a few years now, mobile apps have been aiming at modernizing religious practices, and are in line with their time by using the current codes of digital media. These apps aim to accompany users in their religious practices and in their faith while speaking the language of the 21st century. Creating a religious or spiritual app can be the ideal solution to allow your community to cross the ages by using the most adapted communication tools.
