App Store Compliance
--------------------
Apps submitted for distribution through the macOS App Store must pass Apple's
app review process. This process includes a set of automated validation rules
that inspect the submitted application bundle for problematic code.
The Python standard library contains some code that is known to violate these
automated rules. While these violations appear to be false positives, Apple's
review rules cannot be challenged. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the
Python standard library for an app to pass App Store review.
The Python source tree contains
:source:`a patch file <Mac/Resources/app-store-compliance.patch>` that will remove
all code that is known to cause issues with the App Store review process. This
patch is applied automatically when CPython is configured with the
:option:`--with-app-store-compliance` option.
This patch is not normally required to use CPython on a Mac; nor is it required
if you are distributing an app *outside* the macOS App Store. It is *only*
required if you are using the macOS App Store as a distribution channel.
