Dear Apple Developer App Review Team,
I hope you are doing well.
I would like to clarify the nature of my application before publishing it on the App Store to ensure full compliance with Apple’s guidelines and policies.
My application, called “Dukhan”, is a platform dedicated to cafés in Iraq. Its primary purpose is to help users:
Discover nearby cafés.
View café information and menus.
Explore promotions and special offers provided by café owners.
Improve the overall experience of finding and visiting cafés.
The application is not intended to sell tobacco products or directly promote tobacco-related sales. Additionally, the app does not include any functionality for purchasing or delivering tobacco or nicotine products.
However, due to the nature of café culture in Iraq and the surrounding region, some cafés may display images within their menus or venue galleries that include hookahs/shishas, as these are commonly associated with local cafés. These images are uploaded by café owners solely to showcase the atmosphere and available services of their cafés, not for the purpose of selling tobacco products through the application.
We are fully willing to comply with any additional requirements from Apple, including:
Prohibiting any direct sale or ordering of tobacco products within the app.
Applying age restrictions if necessary.
Removing any content that may be considered direct tobacco promotion.
Moderating uploaded content from café owners to ensure compliance with App Store guidelines.
I am also fully willing to provide screenshots, demo access, or even submit the application for review in order to help your team better understand the app’s purpose and functionality.
We would appreciate your guidance on whether this type of content is acceptable within the context of a local café discovery and service platform, especially since the app’s focus is on helping users discover cafés and their services rather than facilitating tobacco commerce.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kind regards,
Murtada
