Updated to April 2021 [Newsroom](https://blog.unguess.io/author/newsroom) Apr 27, 2021 --- ## App Store **Upcoming AppTrackingTransparency requirements** With the upcoming public release of iOS 14.5, iPadOS 14.5, and tvOS 14.5, all apps must use the AppTrackingTransparency framework to request the user’s permission to track them or to access their device's advertising identifier. Unless you receive permission from the user to enable tracking, the device's advertising identifier value will be all zeros and you may not track them. **App Store submission update** Starting April 26, 2021, all iPhone and iPad apps submitted to the App Store must be built with Xcode 12 and the iOS 14 SDK or later. The iOS SDK provides access to exciting new features like App Clips, Home screen widgets, ARKit, RealityKit, and much more. *Full content and details (external sources):* [*Apple Developer*](https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=ib31uj1j)   **Apple Worldwide Developers Conference** The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference will go live from June 7 to 11.

The next major revamp is here and sees new navigation, as well as revamped settings. Once rolled out, a blue overlay appears to highlight your profile avatar in the top-right corner. Your current account is listed at the top with others hidden until you tap expand. Below that, Google lists your Play Points status with a progress bar. The “My apps & games” page is unchanged, but “Library” is new and links to Wishlist, Google TV/Play Movies & TV, and Play Books. “Payments & subscriptions” has been consolidated into one page, with “Play Protect” next. “Notifications & offers,” as well as “Play Pass,” have been moved down compared to previous navigation drawer placement.  *Full content and details (external sources):* [*9to5Google*](https://9to5google.com/2021/04/07/google-play-store-redesign/)   **Google readies crowdsourced ‘App install optimization’ in the Play Store** Google has been working to make Android apps smaller in size by optimizing what code and resources are downloaded to devices. The latest initiative on this front is “App install optimization” in Google Play. Once live on your device, you’ll be greeted with a “Google is optimizing app installs with your help” prompt after opening the Play Store. To turn off this default option, visit the revamped Settings page and open “General.” “App install optimization” is provided as a preference to disable/enable. *Full content and details (external sources):* [*9to5Google*](https://9to5google.com/2021/04/23/google-play-app-install-optimization/), [News18](https://www.news18.com/news/tech/app-install-optimisation-on-google-play-in-the-works-to-improve-app-performance-reduce-download-time-3554834.html)   ## Huawei App Gallery **My Huawei app launched on AppGallery, provides multiple user based services in one place** The President of Handset Business and Huawei Consumer Business Group, Kevin Ho confirmed that My Huawei app is a collection of independent apps such as Huawei Club, Huawei Mobile Services, Gamer Center, and Member Center.
