Making An App: What Can I Use?

[Edymnion]

Okay, I'm wanting to build an app for doing Harrowings since my wife is going to be running Curse of the Crimson Throne and she's going to have to do a lot of those.

It'll probably never get beyond our two phones, but on the off chance I knock it out of the park and want to put it on the app store, what exactly are the rules I need to follow for that?

I feel like you'd be best to consult the app store (customer service or forums) for their requirements on submission, but I suppose here you're at least likely to have someone who can help you muddle through the copyright stuff on this end, to make sure you comply with the OGL and don't violate Pathfinder (or d&d) IP rules.

On the other hand, the Deck uses a standard 52 last time I saw, so if you have the list from archives or d20pfsrd you should be able to find any old card dealing app and use that if it's only a matter of convenience.

Rules for submission to the app store aren't a problem.

But yeah, I was more asking for things like "I have the Deluxe Harrow Deck, I assume I can't use the art from that in a public release version of the app?" and "Can I advertise it as being a Pathfinder Harrow Deck Simulator, or do I need to use generic names?". That kind of thing.

The very first step you should do is take the legal permission to build the app from the original develpers of the game in order to not get into any copyright claim later on.
