Discussion How are you handling the new app-store age laws (Texas SB 2420 etc.) in MAUI apps?

3 Upvotes

Texas (SB 2420) is in effect (since June, while the appeal continues), and Utah, Louisiana, Alabama and California have similar app-store age laws coming in 2027. Google now has the Play Age Signals API and Apple has Declared Age Range (iOS 26), plus newer iOS 26.2/26.4 calls for regulatory features and "significant update" acknowledgments.

For those shipping .NET MAUI apps to the US stores:

  1. Are you doing anything about this yet, or waiting to see how enforcement goes?
  2. If yes: calling the platform APIs directly, using a NuGet package, or something else?
  3. Anything that's been a pain: the iOS side (Swift-only API), testing it, the newer iOS 26.2/26.4 calls, or keeping some record of what your app decided?

Not looking for legal advice, just how other teams are approaching it in practice.
