Apple is introducing new APIs for developers in Texas to comply with upcoming age assurance laws like SB2420 starting January 1, 2026. These laws require parental consent for app usage by minors and involve significant changes to how apps collect personal data. Developers must implement the Declared Age Range API and the Significant Change API, with tools available for testing. Apple expresses concern about the privacy implications of such laws and plans to support compliance across other jurisdictions.
