Clarification Needed on Tracking/Telemetry Rules for Apple Arcade Games

Hello,

We searched Apple documentation and found no official guidance on Arcade‑specific tracking rules. Enforcement seems implicit via App Tracking Transparency (ATT) and App Review, so we want to confirm whether Arcade builds must be treated as stricter than, or the same as, normal App Store builds. Specifically:

Are ATT prompts and IDFA usage completely disallowed in Arcade builds?

Are third‑party analytics SDKs (e.g., Firebase, Adjust, GameAnalytics) permitted in Arcade?

Is crash reporting limited to Apple‑approved frameworks only?

Should all tracking/telemetry be restricted to gameplay and iCloud sync only?

We plan to adjust our entitlement logic and QA requirements accordingly, so an official clarification would be very helpful.

Thank you,

Phong
