#ADGUARD APP REVIEW HOW TO#
The company shared a blog post detailing what happened. Adguard knows how to block all kinds of ads in all browsers and even in other apps, protecting your privacy along the way. One of the more popular ad blockers on iOS, AdGuard has an in-app purchase for the Pro version. But when AdGuard tried to update its app recently, Apple’s review team turned the company down, saying: It creates a local VPN tunnel to block ads inside of apps, not just Safari. Guideline 2.5.1 – Performance – Software Requirements. Your app uses a VPN profile or root certificate to block ads or other content in a third-party app, which is not allowed on the App Store.īut AdGuard argues that its app doesn’t do that by default, and that feature isn’t advertised anywhere in the app. The team uses a public API-which the App Store allows-called NEPacketTunnelProvider-to create the local VPN tunnel. The app does allow configuration to block ads, tracking code, etc.īasically, Apple is saying that you can’t use the VPN API for any purpose other than creating a real VPN connection. AdGuard Pro uses a local VPN tunnel to let you set a system-wide DNS configuration. We will concentrate on the Safari content blocking API now.In its blog post, AdGuard shares that they won’t remove Pro functionality at this time, but it won’t be getting updates anytime soon. Besides blocking all kinds of ads and pop-ups, Adguard also protects you from malicious elements that can enter your smartphone when you install apps. There is a huge list of things we were delaying in favor of the network-level features. We will not take down or change the AdGuard Pro functionality in coming months.Now we finally have enough time for them.
