I guess the precedent would be that they didn’t used to allow redirecting to a website with the purpose of avoid in-app charges. Although I think that’s over with now.
Wonder if this can be used to unsubscribe from The NY Times?
I am not in California, and was able to unsubscribe recently using a simple UI and I did not have to chat with anyone.
I was expecting a painful process based on what I'd read on HN and Reddit but it was just a couple of clicks.

Nevermind NYT, what about your gym subscription!
Is this now perhaps the easiest way to remove your Facebook account? Future guides will be like: 1) Buy an Apple device 2) Download and sign in to Facebook app 3) Click delete account button
Deleting a FB account is already trivial. Instructions here (essentially, press "Permanently Delete Account" in settings and put in your password to confirm): https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674
As much as I like the change, the 3-month window seems unreasonable. I don't currently have AppStore apps, and these kinds of whiplash changes are part of the reason. Microsoft, for all its faults, is much better than Apple or Google here. Businesses take planning and strategy, and these things lead to drop-everything fires. Economies rely on stability.
To be fair, it's closer to 4 months, and it would appear that they won't yank you immediately. It's only for new submissions: > This requirement applies to all app submissions starting January 31, 2022. Unsure if this means new apps, or includes updates to existing apps. But I bet there'll be a bit more of a grace period if you don't have a new update to push.

This is why using the blockchain got user data is such a stupid idea. The immutability makes it impossible to redact or remove information, even if that information is encrypted. The same is true foor P2P services where there is no central accounting system. Deleting the account shouldn't be a problem if all the "account" info is stored on the device itself, so if your reviewers aren't completely incompetent I don't…
Hate to break it to you but banks are not deleting your account immediately when you close it. They legally can't.

It's simple. Don't offer account deletion. You comply with both in that case.
> all apps that allow for account creation must also allow users to initiate deletion of their account from within the app No, that doesn't seem true.
“…must also allow users to INITIATE deletion of their account”
Capitals mine. So I can allow the initiation of deletion but never actually completely delete the account… and my app complies.

huh? you can deactivate and delete your FB account through Facebook...why would this be easier?
Could be totally wrong here though...
E.g. 1) Download an app (N26, Revolut, etc...) 2) Create an account 3) After login, the option to delete the account should be there...
(Of course the bank should respect all data retention policies)
