Age Categories API

Federal and/or state laws require app distribution stores to provide a method for third-party developers to verify users' ages.

Usage Terms

You may only use this API to:

• comply with legal requirements
• age-gate your app's content or functionalities

You may not transfer the age information off-device or share it with others unless doing so is necessary for the above purposes.

API

Include the following code in your application:

    val ageVerificationAAH = AgeVerificationAAH(context)
    val ageCategory = ageVerificationAAH.getAgeCategory()
    if (ageCategory == AgeVerificationAAH.AGE_18_PLUS){
        // TODO: do something here
    } else {
        // TODO: do something here
    }
