The primary app review guidelines you should be aware of are not explicitly detailed in the provided context. However, there are several best practices and features related to app development and submission that were discussed during WWDC 2024 sessions:

  1. Featuring Nominations:

    • You can submit plans for your app's upcoming content and enhancements to the editorial team for consideration for featuring on the App Store. This includes providing important details about the feature or content you're introducing (What’s new in App Store Connect).
  2. Inclusivity and Accessibility:

    • Highlighting the values you live by and the story of how you create your app, such as promoting inclusivity or accessibility, can be beneficial. These details are considered by the editorial team when reviewing your submission (What’s new in App Store Connect).
  3. Testing Enhancements:

    • Using TestFlight to gather feedback from testers is crucial. The updated invitation experience in TestFlight helps you showcase your app to testers and set criteria for public links to enroll the most relevant testers (What’s new in App Store Connect).
  4. App Intents:

    • When designing app intents, it's important to surface functionality that is useful outside of your app. The guidance has been updated to go beyond common functionality, suggesting that anything your app does should be an app intent (Design App Intents for system experiences).

For more detailed guidelines, you would typically refer to Apple's official App Store Review Guidelines.
