Well, that's on Spotify to do. They've been able to do it forever. Tidal has an Apple TV app.

- wmf 7y agoIsn't Spotify tied up in a dispute about the 30% cut? If they pay 70% to the labels and 30% to Apple that leaves them nothing to operate on.
- tomjakubowski 7y agoCouldn't they offer an app with no in-app "buy a subscription" option and avoid paying that Apple tax? I guess added value for existing subscribers isn't very appealing on its own.
- syshum 7y agoApple has come down hard on devs attempting to do that.
- scarface74 7y agoThere is an existence proof that that isn’t the case. Spotify, Netflix, Sling, and DirecTVNow are all in the App Store and none of them allow subscriptions from within the App Store.
- syshum 7y agoThat is simply proof of selective enforcement. your examples have HUGE preexisting User Base, should apple ban them it would have a real effect on Apple Adoption rates They are big enough to make apple bow, other apps are not like that
- scarface74 7y agoSo I guess Linux Academy is also big enough to make “Apple Bow” since you have to subscribe outside of the store? There isn’t a requirement to make subscriptions only available in the store.
- scarface74 7y agoNo. Spotify hasn’t allowed you to subscribe through the App Store for years. Netflix has also disallowed new subscriptions through the App Store. That does not stop Spotify from releasing an AppleTV app.
