> At first we tried to release a separate app to keep the target audience separate but it turned out to be against Apple's developer rules that two apps could not be released with the same functionality, so we had to compromise and include everything in one app and try to lower the risk for vulnerable users as much as possible

Or in a sane world talk to a human being who has the authority to understand that the rule is inappropriate in this case and allow you take the safer option.

How can something as important as this not get escalated inside Apple?
