App Store Guidelines [1] wouldn't apply here since this is for web apps opened in Safari. If anything, it'd be language in the Developer License Agreement that might cover this.

Web apps opened in Safari.

So if I build a web app on my own dime, on my own hosting resources, signing no developer agreements with Apple whatsoever...

... there's not a remote chance that I'm subject to any of Apple's whims, and there's very little they can do about it.

Add my site to a Safari exclusions list? That will and should go down like a flaming mess.

The first requirement is: An Apple Developer Program account. Presumably for creating the "passes".
