What am I missing here? Why can Spotify not redirect users to subscribe on their own website?
I'm pretty sure I signed up on Spotifys website, then logged into my iPhone. Apple definitely don't get 30% of that subscription fee.
- coldacid 8y agoBecause Apple rejects their app whenever they try something like that, or even have phrasing suggesting that users do so without actually redirecting themselves.
- alex_duf 8y ago>Why can Spotify not redirect users to subscribe on their own website? Because it's forbidden by apple to inform your user that it's cheaper on the website.
- UpperBodyEimi 8y agoIs this in their ToS or is this just hearsay?
- thekyle 8y agoAccording to the website, the debate is that Apple does not currently allow apps to do what you are describing. A few quotes from the timeline: > Apple now prohibits buttons or links to any other external ways to pay. > While we haven’t been able to include any buttons or external links to pages containing product info, discounts, promotions, etc. (even if they don’t link directly to a payment system!) since Feb. 2011
