App Submission

To register and distribute an Infotainment application in the Pleos App Market, the app must pass a review. This document explains the preparation before submission, submission items for the review, and post-review management items.

Preparation before submission

• Check and update developer information.

  • Before submitting the app, check if the 'Developer/Organization Details' registered in the App Market is accurate.

    In particular, the review team should be able to contact the developer at any time.

• Test the app for functionality issues.

  • Ensure there are no issues such as app crashes, performance degradation, bugs, broken images, and stretched resolutions.
  • Especially, excessive performance usage leading to device performance degradation (overload, increased battery consumption, etc.) is directly related to vehicle performance and may compromise user safety. Please take caution.

• Check for app security vulnerabilities.

  • Ensure the app does not contain security vulnerabilities.

    Check if the app contains malware, viruses, or malicious code.

• Verify app information and metadata.

  • Ensure the app's information and metadata are accurately documented.

    App name, version name, and category information for app identification Country of release, age rating, access permissions, and privacy information App package file, app icon, and screenshots Service terms or privacy policies required for submission

• Provide elements that allow the review team to check all functionalities of the app.

  • Provide an account with access to all functionalities and content.

    If additional elements are required to access in-app content, the review team may request them from the developer.

• Enable the required elements for app operation in advance.

  • If your app requires a connection to an external server, please ensure that all necessary components for app operation are activated in advance before submission. This allows the service to be accessible immediately during the review process.

• Ensure the app is designed with driver safety in mind.

  • Vehicle apps must comply with the ‘Driver Distraction Optimized’ design guidelines.

    Do not display moving images or automatically scrolling text while driving. Do not require complex or unnecessary interactions from the driver. Provide sufficiently large touch areas and easy-to-read text.

  • This design is a mandatory requirement to ensure user safety. For detailed information, see Design Guide for more details.

• Ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.

  • Ensure that the service app, or the products it sells or promotes (e.g., food, medical devices, services), are permitted in the launch country.

    You may be required to submit supporting documents for the approved content.

• Check whether there is any inappropriate content for the assigned age rating.

  • Apps must only display content that is appropriate for their assigned age rating.

    If the app contains content that is inappropriate for its assigned age rating, it may be rejected.

  • App Market reviews content age ratings in collaboration with the International Age Rating Coalition (IARC).

    Therefore, the app must undergo IARC review and receive an age classification. You must submit evidence of the rating assigned by the IARC. Check the detailed information in the IARC age rating classification.

  • Accurately and honestly specify the target age group for the service.

    If content with a higher rating than the one assigned is found during the review, the app may be rejected.

  • If the app includes some content (e.g., media apps, games), it may require additional review in the service target country.

    (Example) To release a game in Korea, it must be reviewed by the Game Rating and Administration Committee.

• Submit comments on features that require explanation along with the review notes.

  • For a smooth review process, submit a feature usage guide along with the review notes.

If any legal documentation, files, or hardware issues occur, the review team may contact you through the designated inquiry channel.

App update management

After passing the review, developers must continuously update and manage their apps to maintain high quality and stable service. The App Market periodically samples and monitors apps to identify and filter out non-compliant ones. In particular, apps that have been reported for critical errors or malfunctions, left without updates for a long period, or have received multiple user reports may be subject to reevaluation. If the reevaluation determines that the app's quality or service no longer meets the App Market's standards, the app may be removed from the store.
