Does Apple get a cut of revenue from Gmail? Protonmail? Fastmail? Why would Hey be any different here?

    Pretty sure it was a rhetorical question to prove a point

  This is what I'm wondering too. I can't imagine Apple just deciding as a one-off case to do a secret, arbitrary shakedown. It sounds more like a dispute over their written rules, which can still be questionable, but much less so. If this goes outside of their official rules, it's a big deal. If it's in line with them, it's par for the course. I think some important details are missing from the source.

  No. Indeed there is a helpful table if you scroll down through the linked thread: https://mobile.twitter.com/dhh/status/1272977217115443200 https://mobile.twitter.com/dhh/status/1272977217115443200

  I think it has to do with whether you want the user to pay from the App Store vs your own site.
