4.2.7Remote Desktop Clients

What this guideline means

Apps that let a user remotely control another computer need to be connecting to hardware the user owns, manages, or has explicit permission to access — a remote-access app can't be a general-purpose tool for unauthorized access to arbitrary machines.

Why apps actually get flagged

Comes up when a remote-desktop app's onboarding doesn't clearly establish that the connecting user has legitimate authorization to the target machine.

A real example

"Your app functions as a remote desktop client but does not ensure users are only connecting to devices they own or have permission to access, per guideline 4.2.7."
