Microapp is committed to ensuring a high-quality, secure, and user-friendly experience for all users and creators. This policy outlines the requirements and expectations for all developers publishing microapps on the platform. ## 1. General Requirements * **Legal Compliance:** All microapps must comply with local, national, and international laws, including data privacy regulations, intellectual property rights, and applicable tax laws. * **Deployment Eligibility:** Microapps must be deployable via the Microapp platform without the need for third-party software or extensive user configurations. ## 2. Deployment Process * **Instant Deployment:** Developers can instantly deploy microapps after meeting basic technical and content criteria. Microapps will not undergo initial review but must comply with all platform requirements to remain active. * **Developer Responsibility:** Developers are responsible for testing their microapp’s functionality, security, and compatibility before deployment. ## 3. Verification Requirements To gain access to monetization and promotion, microapps must meet these verification criteria: * **Functionality:** * Microapps must perform their advertised function without major bugs or errors. * The app should load within 5 seconds on a standard internet connection. * The app must not crash under normal use and must handle exceptions without disrupting the user experience. * **Identity:** * Microapps that use identity must use one of Microapp's Auth SDKs. * Microapps must not authenticate users using an external identity system. * **Security:** * Sensitive data (e.g., user credentials, personal information, and payment data) must be encrypted using AES-256 or stronger. * Microapps must not contain malware, spyware, or other malicious code. * Developers must regularly update security measures to protect against vulnerabilities. * **User Experience:** * Microapps must have an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. * The design must be responsive for mobile, tablet, and desktop. * Clear navigation and error feedback should guide users when issues arise. * The design must be consistent with uniform fonts, colors, and UI elements. ## 4. Monetization Requirements Only verified microapps can charge users. To enable monetization, the following criteria must be met: * **Pricing Models:** * Developers can choose between subscription, one-time payment, and freemium models. * All pricing must be transparent, and users should be informed of any charges before initiating transactions. * **Payment Processing:** * Payments must be processed exclusively through the Microapp payment system. * A platform fee of 10%\~30% will be applied to all transactions. ## 5. Advertising Restrictions * **No In-App Advertising:** Advertising is not supported by Microapp at this time. Any microapps containing advertisements will be subject to removal. ## 6. Technical Standards * **Performance:** * **Load Time:** Microapps should display content within 2 seconds and become fully usable within 5 seconds on a 4G connection. * **Responsiveness:** Microapps should respond to user interactions without noticeable delays or stuttering. * **Size:** Initial download size should be under 500KB (compressed). Additional resources should load only when needed. * **Network Efficiency:** Keep server requests minimal, with responses completed within 500ms. * **Browser Compatibility:** Microapps must be compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge and function consistently across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. ## 7. Privacy Requirements * **Data Collection:** Only collect data essential for the app’s operation. Developers must inform users about what data is collected and how it will be used. * **User Consent:** Explicit user consent is required before collecting or processing personal data, in line with GDPR and CCPA regulations. * **Data Security:** User data must be encrypted using SSL/TLS for transmission and AES-256 for storage. ## 8. Design Requirements * **Simplicity:** Microapps must have a simple, uncluttered design that focuses on core functionality. * **Responsiveness:** The design must be fully responsive and functional on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. * **Accessibility:** Developers must follow WCAG 2.1 guidelines to ensure the app is accessible to users with disabilities. ## 9. Integration Requirements * **API Integration:** Microapps using external APIs must handle errors gracefully and ensure security in all API requests. * **Webhook Events:** Microapps using webhooks must ensure reliable handling of events, with logs available for debugging. ## 10. Content and Legal Compliance * **Prohibited Content:** Microapps must not promote illegal, offensive, or inappropriate content. * **Intellectual Property:** Developers must have cleared all third-party intellectual property rights. * **Local Law Compliance:** All microapps must comply with local laws regarding data protection and business operations. ## 11. Maintenance and Updates * **Regular Maintenance:** Developers must update microapps regularly to address bugs, security issues, and functionality improvements. * **Inactivity:** Microapps that remain inactive for more than 12 months may be removed. ## 12. Right to Remove Non-Compliant Microapps Microapp reserves the right to remove any microapp that does not comply with the platform’s terms or guidelines. ## 13. Consequences for Non-Compliance * **Warnings:** Developers will receive warnings for non-compliance and will be given a deadline to resolve issues. * **Suspension:** Severe or repeated violations will result in suspension or removal of the app from the platform. * **Appeal Process:** Developers can appeal suspensions or removals within 14 days.
