We had an app rejected for this yesterday (June 16). We've skirted the guidelines in the past by carefully not mentioning any type of external payment system or subscription offering at all within the app. Users had to subscribe on a website for app content. Previously this was fine. AFAIK you weren't required to implement in-app purchases for each subscription offering available outside of the app. That seems to be the change to the guideline or something that is now being enforced that was always there. This is a non-trivial integration to build and maintain. Not only will this have a real cost in engineering hours but the 30% fee is absurd - made more so by the fact that you cannot even inform your customers of the option to subscribe out of the app. I'd happily enable in-app purchases and increase the price 30% with help text that says "Want to save 30% - subscribe on the website HERE" Netflix removed their in-app purchase options years ago. When you open the app it says you have to sign up on the website and provides no content or other utility without signing in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
