    Description

      Apple (and sometimes Google) forces apps to have a usage Policy for your apps.

      Currently we are using the Moodle generic one, but any site should be able to use its own app specific Policy (or fallback to Site Policy if configured).

      Therefore, we must add a new setting (in the Mobile settings section) so admins can point to a link where there app Policy is hosted, if its empty, we should fallback to the Site Policy link and if its empty, use Moodle generic one.
