About AppGuidelines

AppGuidelines records each change it detects in Apple's App Review Guidelines and other Apple developer guidelines and agreements, and shows each change as a full-text diff against the previous version.

How it works

Each tracked document is fetched from Apple's website every 4 hours and compared with the last recorded version. Only changes to the visible text count; when there is one, the new text is saved as the next version and its diff pages are published here. A version's date is when the change was recorded, so it can trail Apple's own update by up to one check interval.

New versions are also listed in the Atom feed.
