I'm inclined to agree with you. Apple's terms aren't exactly new. While I don't like Apple's App Store model, Hey had to know what it was getting into. This is an uphill fight that even Amazon ultimately ended up capitulating to.
- grumple 6y agoAmazon does not pay the apple fee for physical goods in the app version of their store, and it sounds like they have a special deal with apple for the video app: https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/3/21206400/apple-tax-amazon-tv-prime-30-percent-developers https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/3/21206400/apple-tax-amazon-...
- wayoutthere 6y agoE-commerce apps have always been allowed, but the video app did not allow purchasing on iOS at all (if I recall they even blocked it in mobile Safari) until very recently. But my point was this isn't exactly a new policy for Apple, and if you're building an app in 2020, it's just how the model works. Hail laissez-faire capitalism.
