Mobile App Development for Florida, Built with AI Agents

A consumer app with a feed, push notifications and teenage users is a legal design problem in Florida before it is a visual one. HB 3 sets account rules for social media apps that meet its usage tests for users under 16, and as of October 2026 an appeals court order lets the state enforce them while the case continues. A separate statute limits how services predominantly accessed by children profile them or collect their location. Those rules decide which screens, prompts and data flows should exist at all.

Curiosive is a studio in Ankara, Türkiye, building iOS and Android apps in React Native so one codebase reaches both stores. AI coding agents write the volume under senior engineer review: screens, navigation, forms, tests and store metadata drafts. Engineers own the parts that can hurt users, including age and consent flows, token storage, entitlement checks and the privacy declarations Apple and Google read at review.

HB 3 (ch. 2024-42, Fla. Stat. s. 501.1736) took effect January 1, 2025. It covers a social media app or site only when four tests are met: users can post or view others' content, at least 10 percent of daily users under 16 average 2 or more hours a day, algorithms select content, and the service has an addictive feature such as infinite scroll or push notifications. A covered platform must bar users under 14, require parental consent for 14- and 15-year-olds and terminate accounts that do not comply. The Attorney General can seek up to $50,000 per violation, and minors can recover damages of up to $10,000. In June 2025 a district court preliminarily enjoined the under-14 ban and the parental-consent rule, but on November 25, 2025 an Eleventh Circuit panel stayed that injunction pending appeal, so Florida may enforce both while the appeal proceeds. With a ranked feed and push notifications, test the usage thresholds early.

Children's data in Florida apps, games and gaming platforms

A second statute, Fla. Stat. s. 501.1735, reaches social media platforms, online games and online gaming platforms likely to be predominantly accessed by children (under 18). Such a service may not profile children unless appropriate safeguards are in place and the profiling is necessary for the feature the child is using or has a compelling no-harm justification. It may not use dark patterns to push children into giving more data or forgoing privacy protections, and it may collect precise geolocation only when strictly necessary, with an obvious sign to the child for as long as collection runs. The Department of Legal Affairs can collect up to $50,000 per violation, which may be tripled when the platform knew the child was under 18. Separately, s. 501.715 stops any for-profit business operating in Florida, whatever its revenue, from selling consumers' sensitive data without prior consent. In an app this lands on location permission prompts, analytics SDK choices and consent screens, which engineers design and review.

Selling app subscriptions to Florida users on iOS and Android

An app for users in Florida is sold through the United States storefronts, where the payment rules now differ from the rest of the world. Apple's App Review Guidelines 3.1.1(a) and 3.1.3 let apps on the United States storefront include buttons or links to purchasing methods other than in-app purchase, with no entitlement needed. To comply with the Epic v. Google injunction, Google does not require Google Play Billing for US users. Developers in its alternative billing program must report transactions and pay Google's service fees from October 1, 2026, while the external content links program was given until December 1, 2026. If a web checkout sells a consumer plan that falls under Florida's automatic renewal statute (s. 501.165), the renewal has to be disclosed clearly and conspicuously and cancelling has to work by the same means the customer used to accept. We keep entitlements on the server as the source of truth, so a store purchase and a web purchase grant the same features.

What AI agents build and engineers own in a React Native app

Each task begins as a written brief from an engineer: scope, acceptance criteria and the lines the agent may not cross. Claude Code or Cursor then builds screens, navigation, list rendering and form validation in the repository, adds tests and proposes a change only after types, lint and tests pass. A senior engineer reviews every diff, and agents never merge their own work. Engineers keep token storage in Keychain on iOS and Keystore on Android, auth refresh, offline and reconnection behaviour, permission prompts and store privacy declarations. Florida's breach law covers an email address paired with a password that opens an online account, so the login path stays in engineer hands, as does account deletion, which Apple wants startable inside the app and Google wants both in the app and through a web link. TrendinChat (trendin.chat), a React Native chat app, was built in two weeks. Ankara runs 8 hours ahead of Eastern time in winter and 7 in summer, so much of the studio's day falls in your night.

Questions

The things people ask before starting.

Does Florida's HB 3 social media law apply to my app?

Only if it meets all four tests: users post or view others' content, at least 10 percent of daily users under 16 average 2 or more hours a day, algorithms select content, and it has an addictive feature such as infinite scroll or push notifications. Since the November 2025 stay, Florida may enforce the rules during the appeal. A lawyer can confirm where your app falls.

Is parental consent required for teenage app users in Florida?

Only for some apps. A platform covered by HB 3 must bar users under 14 and get parental consent for 14- and 15-year-olds. Outside HB 3, selling a known child's sensitive data needs the child's own affirmative authorization at ages 13 to 18, while under 13 the business must follow COPPA, whose amended rule passed its main compliance deadline on April 22, 2026.

Can my iOS app send Florida customers to web checkout?

Yes, on the United States storefront. Apple's guidelines 3.1.1(a) and 3.1.3 allow buttons and links to other purchasing methods there without an entitlement. On Android, Google does not require Play Billing for US users. We check entitlements on the server so either purchase path grants the same plan.

Did Florida pass an app store age verification law?

No. SB 1722 would have required app store providers to verify account holders' ages and obtain parental consent for minors' accounts, and would have let minors or parents sue app stores and developers. It died in the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 13, 2026. Any age logic HB 3 requires of a covered platform still lives in your own app.
