Beginning June 4, new App Store users in Texas will be required to verify their age due to the Texas App Store Accountability Act, which mandates that companies like Apple and Google ensure users are 18 or older. For users under 18, parental consent is necessary, and they must join a Family Sharing group. Apple has updated its App Store rules to reflect these changes, requiring developers to use the Declared Age Range API for age verification and the Significant Change API to notify parents of significant app changes. Despite Apple's attempts to lobby against the law, including efforts from CEO Tim Cook, the law is set to take effect. The law's future remains uncertain due to ongoing legal challenges, including a previous injunction that temporarily halted its enforcement. However, the Fifth Circuit's recent decision to stay the injunction means that developers and users in Texas must comply with the new age verification requirements.
