Well, that’s probably exactly what happened, and now Apple is cracking down on this sort of app. They can’t just refuse to pay out that $14 mil to the app developer - these are bad user experiences that trick people into agreeing to subscriptions, but they aren’t clearly illegal. Apple does need to go through their own app review process when they want to boot an app, making sure there is a clear rule the app is not following.
- paulgb 8y agoIt sounds like they're only cracking down after getting bad press. > They can’t just refuse to pay out that $14 mil to the app developer - these are bad user experiences that trick people into agreeing to subscriptions, but they aren’t clearly illegal. I haven't read the developer agreement but I'd be surprised if it's written in such a way that they don't have any discretion here. Just because it's not illegal doesn't mean it doesn't violate Apple's terms.
