How AppYard keeps apps safe

Court-ordered scanning and notarisation, plus human review and clear rules against piracy.

Last updated:

What the court orders require

Apps installed outside the App Store must meet baseline security and privacy checks before they run on an iPhone with an Australian Apple Account, including scanning and notarisation tied to an identified developer.

See Australia explainer.

Human review

We read listing details, privacy policies, and support contacts before go-live.

Content rules and reporting

No pirated games or malware. Flag problems via takedown.

What we will not list

We may refuse listings that break our rules even if notarisation passes. Emulators are welcome when they respect copyright and our developer requirements.

Your responsibility

Installing from any marketplace involves judgement. Read privacy policies, keep your iPhone updated, and report anything that looks wrong.
