Below is the review checklist that the WUIT will use to determine if it can move forward with the publication of a mobile app. If you are considering working with the University to develop and publish a mobile app, please review this checklist to ensure you are building your app according to our standard guidelines:
Functionality:
- Application functions as described by developer
- Application does not crash when used
- Data presentation is accurate
- Application code is commented for future support purposes
Branding:
- WUSTL logos are unmodified and used according to public affairs guidelines
- Names of the University and University entities are listed correctly
- Use of any advertising or in-app purchases is excluded
- Appropriate disclaimer and source credits are easily accessible within the app
- Exclusion of any lewd language, references to drugs, alcohol, etc.
- Application should not “piggyback” on the name/branding of existing WUSTL systems
Security:
- App does not prompt users to submit personal information
- If authentication is required, app authenticates via WUSTL-Key
- App must not “harvest” data when connected to a secure data source
Other:
- Developer has signed agreement with WUIT
- Developer has obtained permission to use WUSTL logos, names, etc.
- Developer must have permission to access data sources that the app uses
